Troopers Searching For Suspects In Salisbury Convenience Store Armed Robbery

(SALISBURY, Md.) – Maryland State Police are searching for two people suspected in the armed robbery of a convenience store Monday in Wicomico County.

Shortly after 9:50 p.m. on Monday, troopers responded to the Chicken Man convenience store, located at the intersection of Snow Hill Road and Lincoln Avenue in Salisbury on a report of an armed robbery.

Both suspects ran out of the business toward the Lincoln Avenue area. Troopers searched the area for the suspects, but were unable to locate them.

Investigators described the suspect with the shotgun as a light-skinned black male with a beard or goatee, who was wearing black clothing, black gloves and brown or tan boots. The second suspect is described as a light-skinned black male who wore, dark pants, a black coat, gray face mask, gray hooded sweatshirt, blue latex gloves and gray shoes/boots.

What in the hell is wrong with these businesses who install such crappy camera systems. My home systems in complete darkness can give incredible images. Sorry people but these businesses deserve what they get. If Jake Day and Jack Heath want to do some good to help fight crime they need to create legislation that demands a particular PROVEN camera system that actually helps law enforcement. Until them, enjoy your freedom boys.

There was another armed robbery last night on Snow Hill Road at the beer and wine store. Will this go down on the stats for Salisbury PD since the state police are handling the investigation?

You would think they would have better ones. They are the one place to cash higher lotto prizes (up to 5k I think) good thing the robbers didn’t know how much cash was probably in the back

Joe....... I heard last night on my scanner their was a robbery again at almost the same time as the night before, at 610 Snow Hill road. I believe that's Vintage Wines? Two guys in Blue ski masks with a shotgun. Much like Mondays robbery. But I did not catch all the conversation on the scanner, so not 100 percent sure on this.

These images hurt my eyes. No excuse for any business to be without good equipment. Decent cams and prices have been on the market 30 years. I don't know how they get such common surveillance.

"they deserve what they get"....SMH
A bit too extreme of a comment since much worse could happen in a robbery.
