Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, said they are investigating an armed robbery at a pizza shop committed by the same suspects in two separate robberies in the D.C. region.
The incident occurred on Sunday at about 2:22 p.m., as the three suspects entered the Papa John’s located at 1133 East West Highway in Silver Spring, according to police.
One of the suspects acted as a lookout by the door while the other two entered the shop each holding a firearm. One suspect had a rifle while the other carried a hand gun, police said.
Surveillance footage shows two suspects enter the shop and quickly grab the cashier. The cashier and a fellow co-worker were then on the ground as the suspects pointed guns at them.

Police said the three suspects are being investigated for two other armed robberies, at a Subway restaurant in D.C. as well as a liquor store in Oxon Hill in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
