Police said they have charged five teenage males in a street robbery in Perry Hall on March 15. Investigators closed the case on March 26 after connecting the incident to another robbery reported outside White Marsh Mall on March 17.
Shortly after 8 p.m. on March 15, a 13-year-old Perry Hall boy was approached by three teenage boys near the corner of Plantagenet Circle and Seven Courts Drive, according to a police report.
The suspects asked to use the boy's cell phone. After discovering the victim did not have a cell phone, they tackled him and took an iPod from him, the police report stated.
A similar incident was reported in White Marsh, two days later, police said.
At about 10 p.m. on March 17, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy, both from Middle River, were robbed and assaulted in the White Marsh Mall parking lot along the 8200 block of Perry Hall Blvd., according to a police report.
A group of teenagers approached the boys, punched one of them, and stole an iPod and cell phone from them, the police report showed.
Police arrested and charged three Parkville teens in the robbery—two 14-year-olds and a 16-year-old—in addition to one 18-year-old from Perry Hall.
Police connected the Seven Courts and White Marsh Mall robberies as part of their investigation, according to Officer Mark Dorsey of the Parkville police precinct.
Between March 19 and March 23, police arrested and charged five teenage males from Parkville—a 14-year-old boy, a 15-year-old, two 16-year-olds and another whose age was unknown—in the Seven Courts robbery, Dorsey said.
The investigation was closed on March 26, he added.
Capt. Michael Balog of the White Marsh precinct called the arrests an example of the White Marsh precinct and the Parkville precinct sharing information to close cases.

Well done, once again, our local police departments (Parkville, White Marsh) get the job done. The best crime deterrent is fear of getting caught.

Red Dolphin the boys that were arrested are from Parkville. Light Rail has nothing to do with this particular crime. Quit blaming public transportation. Crime has just reached our neighborhood which was just a matter of time.

thats funny, I was just asking, where they came from,and now I know,Iisten to the police scanner all the time. and I hear them broad cast :"check the light rail " alot of the time,so that supports my claim,,,,,,,,,,,, it does have something to do with the increased crime in the county,,,,,,,,,, ask any Baltimore County Polcie officer

I was refering to cockeysville prectinct which, I hear on the scanner (they were chasing three guys thru some back yards and they said "check the light rail",,,,,,,,, in timonium, but I see your point it would not relate to this particular case ( so in perry hall check the park n ride that sound better?)
, I stand by my comment though that crime has increased because of the light rail, wait til the state fair opens then you;ll see

Great job to Parkville and White Marsh police departments. My concern is the aftermath of this crime. Will these young "thugs" get a slap on the wrist? How about the dynamics of their homelife? 14 years old seems young to be involved in criminal activity. Seems like they were never taught right from wrong and the resulting consequences of their actions. I also wonder if this is their 1st brush with the law for criminal activity.

Older folks, question for you all:
Would this have happened 30 years ago?
