After a suspicious traffic stop, Takoma Park Police arrested a man who allegedly committed robbery in Fairfax, VA, according to police.
Colin T. Bowie, 46, of Chevy Chase had an outstanding arrest warrant for impersonation of law enforcement, robbery, abduction by force, and firearm use in the commission of a violent crime.
The investigation began during a suspicious search stop handled by a Takoma Park Police officer on Feb. 9, police said. Items of interest were seen inside Bowie’s vehicle during a search incident to arrest. Through a search warrant, those items were later collected by Montgomery County Police for the Fairfax Police.
On Feb. 17, the Takoma Park Police Department’s Tactical Enforcement Unit (TEU) assisted Montgomery County Police and Fairfax Police with an armed robbery investigation and search warrant.
Having an established relationship with Bowie, a detective in Takoma Park’s Tactical Enforcement Unit encouraged Bowie to respond to the Takoma Park Police Department where his warrant was confirmed and he was placed under arrest, police said.
