Two men, one armed with a sawed-off shotgun, robbed a couple in Meade Village Sunday morning, county police said.

Richard William Swann, 37, of Laurel, and his girlfriend, Terry Mae Paetow, 30, of Fulton, had stopped their car in the 1700 block of Meade Village Circle at 12:20 a.m. and asked two men standing on the street if they had seen Ms. Paetow's sister.

The men walked to the driver's side of the car. One of them took out a sawed-off shotgun and demanded money.

After the couple handed over their cash, the men ran down the street.
