Police say she knowingly allowed a gunman to enter the store and steal cash.
Officers were called to the Rite Aid at 4423 Fortuna Center Plaza at 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, after it had closed for the night, where a 23-year-old and 24-year-old woman told police a masked man initially entered the store, brandished a handgun and demanded money.
The man then ordered the 23-year-old woman to tie up the second employee, and he placed both women in a bathroom, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
The woman who had been tied up was able to get free and call police. No one was injured.
The robber was able to make off with an undisclosed amount of cash and then fled the store.
After police arrived, the two women were interviewed and investigators learned the 23-year-old woman let the man into the store, said Perok.
Police still do not know how the robber and 23-year-old woman know each other.
Keishana Joy Pittman, 23, of Dumfries, is charged with robbery, abduction and use of a firearm in commission of a felony, said Perok. She was held without bond.
Police are looking for a black male believed to have been the gunman. He’s between 20 and 25-years-old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 180 pounds, with a medium build, police say.
