OCEAN CITY - Resort police this week are searching for two
suspects who burglarized three businesses and attempted a fourth in the

deck bar at M.R. Ducks, both on the water at the foot of Talbot Street, along with the outside bar
at Bahama Mama's on Wicomico
Street were all burglarized between 3 a.m. and 4
a.m. last Monday.

at the Angler and M.R. Ducks, investigators discovered the suspects attempted
to break into the Marina Deck restaurant next door, but were unsuccessful.

businesses had been pried open in a similar manner and all of the money was

head. The second suspect was wearing a light colored baseball hat, shorts, and
a short-sleeved baseball style jersey or shirt with a team name written across
the front.
