BALTIMORE — Public safety concerns are growing for a west Baltimore school community, after two teachers have become the city’s latest carjacking victims.
Police confirmed with WJZ two separate incidents where carjackers stole cars from women outside of Billie Holiday Elementary School on Mosher Street.
A volunteer at the school, who spoke with WJZ on the condition of remaining anonymous, confirmed both victims are teachers at the school.
The volunteer said it’s been a rough month, especially since the crimes happened in a span of less than two weeks.
“It’s an excellent school, excellent teachers, and for this to happen…it’s really heartbreaking,” she said.
One of the incidents happened Monday around 7 a.m., according to police. The victim told officers she was outside the school when someone approached her and demanded her personal belongings and car keys.
On Jan. 10 around 8 a.m., police report a woman was inside her car outside the school when a man with a gun ordered her to get out.
