Police identify suspect in Arundel Mills robbery
Anne Arundel police were searching for a 23-year-old Prince George's County man in connection with a robbery in the parking lot of Arundel Mills mall last week. A woman walking to her car in the parking lot about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday was approached by a man who grabbed her purse and implied that he had a weapon, police said. The man fled in a car driven by another person, but the woman was able to give police a description of the car and tag number, police said. Police traced the car to a home in Lanham and, through interviews with relatives, identified Raul Ramos-Guido as the suspect. Five people have been robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of Arundel Mills and nearby shops in four other incidents in the past two months.
