BALTIMORE — A group of minors, between the ages of 12 and 16 years old, were arrested after several carjackings and robberies within a couple of hours of each other on Wednesday afternoon in Northeast Baltimore.
Surveillance video shows a white SUV crashing at an intersection of Belair and Erdman avenues before teens ran away and were ultimately taken into custody.
“During the investigation, BPD did deploy many officers, and with collaborative efforts, they were able to apprehend that group of juveniles,” Baltimore Police Detective Freddie Talbert said.
Police said a Toyota RAV 4 was carjacking in the 500 block of West University Parkway near Johns Hopkins University. An hour and a half later, three people were assaulted and robbed at gunpoint on Beech Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, according to police.
“The juveniles, ages ranged from 12 to 16 years of age, all of them were charged with stolen auto, however, two did also get charged with robbery,” Talbert said.
