In posts on the department’s Crimewatch site, police said 20-year-old Diamond Demeko Diggs of Baltimore, 18-year-old Tevin Damontay Davis of Baltimore and 20-year-old Tavon Howard Cobrand of Randallstown, Md., were all arrested after police received a report of a possible burglary in progress at Donley’s Gun Shop on Rt. 309 at approximately 10:40 p.m.

“Responding officers witnessed the target vehicle exiting the gun shop parking lot/driveway at a high rate of speed,” police said. “Springfield Township Police Department and assisting agencies pursued the target vehicle and ultimately located it behind (the) Best Buy (store) in Richland Township.”

Diggs, Davis and Cobrand are all charged with the following offenses, according to police and court records:
