A terminated Maryland cop has been accused of carrying out a second kidnapping and gunpoint robbery with a former colleague as his accomplice while on the run with his two young daughters.
Former Baltimore County cop Robert Vicosa, 42, had taken his daughters Aminah, six, and Giana, seven, from their Windsor, Pennsylvania, home on Sunday, after holding their mother captive at gunpoint at the home on Friday as she was tied up by her wrists and ankles.
Sgt. Tina Bynum, 36, who has now been suspended, is now said to be with Vicosa after they were seen on Wednesday afternoon in Cockeysville, Maryland.
The pair allegedly kidnapped a male victim at gunpoint and demanded he drive them to various areas in Baltimore County. The male victim was later found to be unharmed.
Vicosa has been charged with kidnapping, assault and robbery with Bynum was also charged for false imprisonment.
Both suspects are considered armed and dangerous by police who say they should not be approached. It is currently unclear if the children are with them.
Police referred DailyMail.com to their public press conference when asked for comment on Wednesday.

Vicosa had kidnapped his daughters Aaminah, six, and Giana Vicosa, seven, from their Windsor, Pennsylvania home on Sunday. They were reportedly last seen on Tuesday at 11.49am
Vicosa and Bynum had previously worked together at the Baltimore County Police Department before he was terminated in August for sleeping on the job and insubordination.
Bynum, who worked for the department for 20 years, was suspended from her position on Tuesday as she also reportedly had a record of disciplinary problems.
Police believe that Bynum had allegedly helped Vicosa keep his estranged wife captive at the Windsor home the weekend before the girls were kidnapped, according to York Daily Record.
His wife had been invited to the home for her birthday celebration with her two daughters on Friday night.
After the girls went to bed, Vicosa enticed his wife with a present which he claimed to be a 'bracelet.'
She was then grabbed by the arms by both Vicosa and Bynum and had a gun placed to her head by her husband, an affidavit said.
The pair tied her up by the wrists and ankles after leading her into the basement.
According to police, the restraints were untied at some point.
The wife had begged her husband to go back to her home on Sunday morning to get her clothes and computer after convincing him she wanted to stay.
She then went home to tell her mother about the assault before going to a Target in Springettsbury Township to seek help, the York Daily Record reported.
The wife reported the weekend assault on Sunday to local police where she claimed she had been forced to take drugs, touch firearms and even was sexually assaulted by Vicosa.
The girls have been featured on a missing and endangered list with their kidnapping date reported as Sunday

Bynum had allegedly held items for Vicosa while his wife was being held captive. The wife also told the department that she believed Vicosa had tracking devices on her phone and vehicle.
The victim's mother had also told police that she received texts from her daughter over the weekend with pictures
