Three men were charged after an armed robbery at the Red Roof Inn Friday afternoon.
On Friday, June 12, at approximately 1:52 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Red Roof Inn located in the 2100 block of Emmorton Park Road in Edgewood for the report of an armed robbery.
Upon arrival, deputies made contact with the five (5) adult victims and one (1) juvenile victim.
