There is a police helicopter over our neighborhood every night
So close that we are awakened alot and even my dishes and china rattle.......

Wow...seriously, right down the street Just sad.

Please people, stay away from ATM's after dark!! It isn't worth the risk of a robbery. Go into a food store ATM and pay the extra fee. It may be worth your life, otherwise.

I never use an ATM; I know better! They are often watched and targeted by low-lifes who prey on the hard work of others and the easy target of an ATM. Most banks will let you get an extra $20-$60 (BJs offers more) for nothing when using your PIN while paying at the register. I hope the suspect was videotaped and caught and I'm glad to hear, according to the article, that it appears the victim was let go unharmed.

Thank you for posting this information. I was very concerned by the police activity and could not figure out what was going on. I am glad that I was able to find this site. I work in Baltimore City and there the police go door to door after incidents to inform the neighbors and alert them. Perhaps this would be a good pratice for Perry Hall. Everyone be safe.

I get money there all the time. I can't wait till the Royal Farm store is open and there will be a better protected BoA ATM.

That ATM may seem to be in a well lit location, but there is a row of bushes that seperates the bank's drive-thru lane and a parking lot on the other side that has no lighting. A robber can easily hide behind the bushes, ambush a victim, and return to the unlit lot for an easy escape by car to Chapel Rd. I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often at this location. They need to remove the bushes and improve the lighting.

Don't use the ATM after dark - I love it. Why don't we just say - hey people since we can't control the thugs in our area - you will be prompted to change your way of life as a result! Ah the days when Perry Hall was a rural area - no issues - no helicopters - just a nice area. Now we have issues like this - people hitting other people in parking lots at the Avenue - grafitti everywhere! I tell you - urban sprawl - is it a good thing?

Something needs to be done about the Graffiti.

People hitting other people? She was from Edgewood, so not sure how that counts as Urban Sprawl.

Thanks for the story. I had heard the helicopter for hours last night, it's quite unnerving to hear it and not know what the issue is. So scary that this is so close to where I live and to schools... over $40, just sad.

and most of you would rather have stricter gun control laws. I think it should be a given to the "thugs" that I might just kill you for $40 of my hard earned $

What the Hell does gun control have to do with anything. There are still people being held up at ATM's in gun friendly states..

What color hair? What color clothes? I was hoping for a better description.

And the race of the perp is..........?

correction " that is to say "I am NOT saying its not all races"

Guess what? We live in perry hall right which is still in Baltimore. We are not immune to the crime and chaos which plagues are city. For years the city has progressively gotten worse and we sat back on our high horse and watched. Buckle up the worse is yet to come.

My biggest concern is the gigantic dome that the gigantic socialist government has put over Perry Hall that does not allow anyone who does not like it to simply get up and leave.

Gotta stop the buses from coming to Perry Hall.

There is an ATM inside Walgreens.

What we need now is unity. Lets bring back that small town feel to the hall. The patch should organize a town meeting. Lets rebel against the scum that pollutes the place we call home. Something has to be done before it is to late.

Having no money is not an excuse to rob people. If that were the case, I'd be a career criminal. There are some areas of Baltimore County that are very close to the city--especially with the addition of new roads and transit buses. Rosedale, Golden Ring, Parkville, and Carney are nothing but an extension of the city. Perry Hall, White Marsh, and Nottingham are nothing more than a hop, skip and a jump from the city. You may as well call Edgewood the inner city of Harford County. Thugs have been scattered throughout the county; higher crime rates are inevitable. There's no where to run unless you can afford to live with the super wealthy and live in a gated communities. God help us all.

I wish the Judges would sentence these people with way tougher punishments. I also think they should chain these offenders together and have them clean up sides of roads, dig ditches and other unpleasant things. Maybe some of these people would think twice before they did this stuff.

Good description. HINT- When the race of the suspect is left out you can bet he was black. You see, its easier to pretend a problem doesn't exist than to face reality and speak the truth.

In a nut shell Perry.
