Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced the sentencing of Corey Sabb, 20, of Baltimore, Dewayne Sanders, 20, of Baltimore, and Allen Hill, 19, of Rosedale, for their roles in a prolific and violent string of armed robberies across Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and Howard County from November 2023 through January 2024.
In total, this group was known to be responsible for at least 45 incidents, including 22 commercial armed robberies, eight robberies of pizza delivery drivers and civilians, eight stolen vehicles, and various additional violent acts. At least 60 citizens of Baltimore and the surrounding area fell victim to the group. The dozens of victims in this case were mostly wageworking employees and delivery drivers of local restaurants and convenience store chains throughout the area. The group often used handguns and other violence to force compliance from their victims. On multiple occasions, the group threatened to shoot and kill their victims or struck them with their guns. On January 15, 2025, Sabb, Sanders, and Hill entered guilty pleas for their roles in this organization. Sabb pled guilty to participation in a criminal organization, three counts of robbery with a dangerous and deadly weapon, and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence. Sanders pled guilty to participation in a criminal organization, three counts of robbery with a dangerous and deadly weapon, and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence. Hill pled guilty to participation in a criminal organization and three counts of robbery with a dangerous and deadly weapon. On April 22, 2025, the Honorable Nancy Purpura of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County sentenced Sabb to an overall sentence of 40 years, suspending all but 20 years, followed by a term of 5 years of supervised probation, Sanders to an overall sentence of 40 years, suspending all but 20 years, followed by a term of 5 years of supervised probation, and Hill to a sentence of 30 years, suspending all but 6 years, followed by a term of 5 years of supervised probation.
As the state argued at sentencing, the group committed these senseless, dangerous, and violent robberies, that ravaged these local communities and placed dozens in fear for their lives, just to take a little bit of cash that was in each register and an occasional candy bar or soda. The state expressed its grave concern for the safety of the public and advocated for the necessity of a sentence that reflected its desire to achieve justice for the victims. Before issuing a sentence, the Court heard from several of the victims and how their lives were altered by the horrific actions of this group. In making today’s announcement, Attorney General Brown thanked his Criminal Division, specifically Division Chief Katie Dorian, Organized Crime Unit Chief Paul Halliday, and Assistant Attorneys General Colin McDaniels and Jacey Smith, who prosecuted the case. Attorney General Brown also thanked Baltimore Police Department Commissioner Richard Worley, Howard County Police Chief Gregory Der, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough, Baltimore County Assistant State’s Attorney Dylan Gerry, and the detectives who worked tirelessly on this case, as well as Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger, Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates, and Howard County State’s Attorney Rich Gibson, Jr., for their offices’ assistance in this investigation.
