Teen Charged In Robbery, Linked To Carjacking In Baltimore County
BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD. (WJZ) — Police have charged a 14-year-old boy in a robbery in Towson and linked him to a carjacking on Kolb Avenue in Overlea.
The 14-year-old boy is charged with the robbery of two women in the 800 block of Stoneleigh Road on January 24. The women were parked on the street around 6:15 p.m. when another vehicle stopped behind them.
Three suspects, all-male, approached the victim's, demanding the car and their possessions, with one pulling out a handgun.
Both women were injured when the passenger, a 20-year-old, was struck in the face, and the driver, a 73-year-old woman, was struck in the head.
"They demanded keys, they demanded the car, they demanded other personal items like cash and cellphones," Jennifer Peach, of the Baltimore County Police Department, said.
The women screamed, getting the attention of neighbors and scared off the three suspects who fled in their car.
The same 14-year-old has also been connected to an armed carjacking of a real estate agent in the 4300 block of Kolb Avenue which happened just two days later. A 15-year-old has also been charged in that case.
Investigators said neither of the teens wants to give up information about the other suspects in the case.
"We know that there are at least two suspects that are outstanding, if not three," Peach said.
Both were charged as juveniles, and the cases are set to be reviewed by the Office of the Assistant State's Attorney for Baltimore County.
Police have not identified these teens because they have been charged as minors, but the department said if there is enough evidence, they could eventually be charged as adults.
These cases are still open. Anyone with additional information should contact detectives from the Regional Auto Theft Task Force by calling 410-307-2020. Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward when submitting tips through Metro Crime Stoppers.
