Frederick County Sheriff’s Office Announces Arrests in Armed Robbery Case

Detectives with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) have announced the arrest of two teenage males in connection with an armed robbery that occurred in September 2025. The investigation, which involved multiple law enforcement agencies, led to charges including armed robbery, assault, and firearm offenses. The arrests and subsequent searches have resulted in the recovery of a handgun.

The incident under investigation took place on September 27, 2025, when deputies were called to the 5500 block of Foxhall Court following a report of an armed robbery. During their initial response, law enforcement learned that the victim had been struck in the face with a handgun during the commission of the crime. Through subsequent investigative efforts, FCSO detectives were able to identify two individuals they believed to be responsible. Arrest warrants were then obtained for their apprehension.

On January 6, 2026, the apprehension of the suspects was carried out. FCSO detectives, working in coordination with the United States Marshals Office Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force (CARFTF) and the Frederick Police Department, executed the arrest warrants. Albert Osmany Cambara and Gerardo Isaac Cervantes, both 17-year-old residents of Frederick, were taken into custody. They were subsequently transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center.
