BALTIMORE -- Baltimore City Sheriff Patrols have been introduced to Patterson Park in response to recent issues including robbery, Recreation and Parks announced Thursday. 

The Sheriff patrols will happen between 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. throughout the park, the agency said. 

Recreation and Parks said the patrols will focus on non-permitted motor vehicles, speaking with off-leash dog owners, robbery deterrence and general safety. 

The initiative comes just days after two boys, 12 and 13, were allegedly assaulted and robbed by a group of people at the park.
