Abington police arrest two on robbery and related charges

An investigation into a July 11th report of an armed robbery of two young men who were walking in the 1600 block of Rockwell Road in Abington Township has led to two arrests.

The victims from the July 11th incident reported that they were approached by two males with handguns. After demanding money from the first victim, one suspect struck the victim in his head with his handgun, causing the victim to be hospitalized. The second victim fled but was located by the second suspect, who pointed a handgun at the victim and stole his cell phone, money and sneakers.

Investigators were able to identify the suspects and on August 3rd, 18-year-old Richard Wright-Crump was arrested at his home in the Blue Bell section of Whitpain Township, and 19-year-old Quamar Adams was arrested at his home in the Norristown section of West Norriton Township. Both suspects were charged with robbery, aggravated assault, and unlawfully possessing firearms. They were arraigned and transported to Montgomery County Correctional Facility after failing to post $100,000 cash bail.
