Baltimore Man Admits to Robbing Three Stores in Just Over an Hour

Baltimore, Maryland – Carlos Rodgers, age 23, of Baltimore, pleaded guilty late yesterday to robbing three stores in Baltimore, according to a statement from the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland.

On March 14, 2015, at approximately 11:12 p.m., Rodgers walked into a convenience store on 41st Street in Baltimore and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the cashier. After demanding and receiving money from two cash registers, he fled.

A few minutes later, Rodgers entered another convenience store on Falls Road and placed the apparent handgun on the counter, demanding money from the cashier. Rodgers took money from two cash registers and cigarettes before fleeing the store.

At approximately 12:38 a.m. on March 15, Rodgers walked into a restaurant on 36th Street and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the cashier, demanding money. As Rodgers began to walk around the front counter, another employee confronted him with a large kitchen knife, causing him to flee.

Based on physical descriptions of the suspect provided by the victims, Rodgers was quickly apprehended.
