Per Rockville Police: RCPD continues to seek information relating to the identity of two suspects wanted in connection with an attempted robbery at the Exxon Gas Station in the 200 block of N. Washington St. on May 22, 2033 at 8:15 p.m.

At approximately 8:15 p.m. two unknown men approached a customer who was filling up their car with gas, one man produced a handgun, and demanded the victim’s keys. The victim refused and drew attention to nearby customers as to what was happening. The two suspects fled south on N. Washington St. without obtaining the vehicle or any personal property. Video surveillance was obtained of the two suspects wanted in connection with this incident.

Per Rockville Police: If you are an owner of a 2011-2021 Kia or Hyundai, your vehicle may be at a higher risk for being stolen. Thefts of these vehicles have been on the rise regionally and nationally after tips showing how to start these cars without a key and using a USB cable were posted on social media. While the City of Rockville has not seen a rise in these types of auto thefts, it is important for those whose Kia or Hyundai operates with a metal or steel key to take extra precaution, as this design causes a system flaw which thieves are targeting. The push-to-start vehicles are not at risk. Have a Kia or Hyundai? Here’s what to do?
