LEONARDTOWN, Md. (March 24, 2010)—Yet another southern Maryland bank was robbed this morning. Shortly after 8:00 a.m., the Bank of America, located on North Shangri La Drive in Lexington Park, was robbed of an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspects fled the bank in a blue/green Acura. Police quickly located the car which had been abandoned. Police say the suspects were last seen driving a black sedan similar to an Acura.

The suspects are described as two black males, one wearing a green flight suit and the other wearing a light gray hooded sweat shirt and ski mask. A handgun was displayed during the robbery.

The intersection of Maryland Route 235 and Maryland Route 4 was initially closed to all traffic but has since been reopened. Detectives from the St. Mary's County Bureau of Criminal Investigation responded to the scene and assumed the investigation.
