4 Charged in Armed Robbery of AT&T on Route 40: HoCo Police

Suspects took cash, phones from Ellicott City store, police said.

Four people are charged in connection with the recent armed robbery of the AT&T store in Ellicott City, the Howard County Police Department said.

At 1:10 p.m. on June 17, officers responded to the 9000 block of Baltimore National Pike/US Route 40, for an armed robbery, according to the report from police.

Three people with their faces covered went into the store, confronted employees and left with phones and cash, the report said. Two of the suspects had guns, according to police, who said no one was injured in the incident.

Before the robbery, a fourth suspect had come into the store to look around without making a purchase, police said. He was wearing pink pants and pink shoes, according to police.

Police said the following four individuals were charged in the robbery:

  • Justin Hosea Snow, 21, of the 900 block of North Carey Street, Baltimore
  • Johnny Devon Snow, 19, of the 900 block of North Carey Street, Baltimore; brother of Justin Snow
  • Taylor Yvonne Snow, 22, of the 800 block of Braeside Road, Baltimore; cousin of the two suspects listed above
  • Arkeene Antoyn Redditt-Abrams, 24, of unit block of N. Abington Avenue, Baltimore; said to have been wearing pink pants
Charges included armed robbery; robbery; conspiracy to commit robbery; first-degree assault; second-degree assault; use of a firearm to commit a felony; and theft between $10,000 and $100,000.

The pink pants wearer—Reddit-Abrams—and the three others were seen in surveillance footage getting out of a gray Toyota Corolla outside the A&T store moments before the robbery, according to police.

The day before the robbery, the same quartet had been stopped in the Corolla in a neighboring county, police said. Detectives also found Redditt-Abrams was wearing the same pink pants as those worn in the robbery in his Facebook profile picture, according to the report.

Redditt-Abrams and Johnny Snow were being held at the Howard County Detention Center, with bail set at $150,000 for each, according to police.

Justin Snow and Taylor Yvonne Snow were picked up by authorities in Mechanicsburg, PA, on Tuesday in connection with a robbery of a T-mobile store, according to police, who said extradition was pending. Justin Snow was released on $150,000 bond, according to police.
