A food delivery driver was first attacked around 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6, on the 7800 block of Hanover Parkway, according to Greenbelt Police.

The victim's blue Toyota Corolla was taken by four men wearing all black and black face masks who were armed with a handgun, investigators said.

Then, the second victim was approached shortly before 9 p.m. by two men wearing all black with black face masks and armed with handguns. The suspects fled the scene with the victim's vehicle along with an unknown vehicle.
