The Baltimore Police Northern District Detective Unit announced on Sept. 8 that a suspect arrested just over a week prior was implicated in more than 20 burglaries that occurred over a four months period in Charles Village. Of the 20 persons burglarized, seven were affiliates of Johns Hopkins University.
Throughout the summer reports of unarmed robbery were filed with the Baltimore Police and Hopkins Campus Security, including incidents of entering through open windows and theft on the streets. Usually such occur rences are regarded as unrelated; however, after investigation of the isolated incidents, the Baltimore Police have reason believe the suspect being held a present was implied in at least 20 burglaries in the Charles Village area, potentially more.
The suspect was identified by numerous victims, and is being held while police investigate other potentially related robberies in neighboring areas. Victims reported the suspect to have distinctive characteristics, which led police to implicate him in other crimes.
If convicted of all accounts of street robbery, burglary and mugging, the suspect could face up to five years incarceration.
