Prince George's Officers Suspended After Cruiser Used In Robbery

PALMER PARK, Md. - Two Prince George's County Police officers have been placed on administrative leave after one officer's uniform and the other officer's marked cruiser were used in a robbery.

Police say Larry Hawkins, 27, used his brother’s uniform shirt and another officer’s cruiser to stop people in the county and rob them of cash.

Hawkins is a former Bladensburg police officer who was fired in 2008. Last year, he was charged with impersonating a police officer. Hawkins' brother, Brandon, is a one-year veteran of the Prince George's County Police force.

Early Thursday morning in the 2400 block of Kenilworth Avenue in Cheverly, police say Larry Hawkins used a marked county cruiser to pull over a man on his way to work. Police say Hawkins told the man he was stopped on suspicion of DWI.
