Police: Cash stolen in Ocean City armed robbery; one arrested

A Maryland man was arrested after police say he was found under a parked car following his alleged involvement in an armed robbery.

The Ocean City Police Department says on Saturday, officers were dispatched to the area of 62nd Street for a report of an armed robbery with a handgun. Police say three victims reported that they were approached by three suspects behind a nearby restaurant. At that time, officers say the suspects demanded money from the victims and then fled on Coastal highway with nearly $3,000 in cash from the victims.

According to the report, a short time later, authorities located the three individuals matching the description of the suspects on Coastal Highway, near 70th Street. Police say the suspects then split up and fled as officers approached. Law enforcement say they later located a suspect on 72nd Street under a parked car. Ocean City PD says the suspect was alter identified as 19-year-old Isaac Koroma, of Silver Spring, MD. Officers report that a large portion of the stolen cash was found nearby.

Koroma was arrested and charged with three counts of robbery, four counts of armed robbery, two counts of first-degree assault, one count of theft $1,500 to under $25,000, one count of possession of a handgun, and one count of use of a handgun to commit a violent crime.

The 19-year-old is currently being held at the Worcester County jail without bond.
