PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — Prince George’s County Police have arrested a man believed to be connected to multiple robberies across the county. Police announced that 31-year-old Stefon Janey of Upper Marlboro, was taken into custody Thursday. Investigators think Janey is part of a group that has used a jaws of life tool in a string of ATM robberies.
Before his arrest, police said Janey led officers on a pursuit Wednesday night.
A grand jury earlier indicted Janey in connection to eight robberies at multiple 7-Eleven stores in Prince George's County. In each case, the group of suspected robbers used the jaws of life to break into the stores' ATMs. In several cases, police said Janey and the other members of the crew stole tens of thousands of dollars.
Investigators are working to identify his associates linked to these crimes. A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment of additional suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 301-516-2830.
Janey faces 44 separate charges including robbery, burglary and malicious destruction of property. Additional charges are likely, police said.
Janey is currently being held at the Prince George's County Department of Corrections on no bond.
