It happened at Tobacco Stop at 32 Mountain Road in Pasadena around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25.

The first two suspects walked inside the store and asked an employee to remove products from a display case, Anne Arundel Police said.

Once the items were taken out, one of the suspects threatened to hurt the employee with a knife before they both fled.

The employee ran after the suspects, who dropped a set of keys.

The employee had just picked up the dropped keys and returned to the store when a second set of suspects walked in and demanded them back.

One of the suspects punched the employee as he handed them back before all four fled in a gray sedan, police said.

The first two suspects are described as Black men in their 20s, one wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans, and the other wearing a dark jacket, a blue hooded sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.

The second set of suspects are described as a Black male in his 20s wearing a black sweatsuit and a female in her 20s of an unknown race wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.
