Armed With Hammer, Man Robs Joppa Area Sex Shop

Police responded to the Love Craft store on Pulaski Highway, south of the Harford County line and north of White Marsh, Saturday evening.

Police say a man armed with a hammer robbed a sex shop in the Joppa area Saturday evening. 

At about 6:17 p.m., in the 12000 block of Pulaski Highway, a man entered the Love Craft store, threatened workers with a hammer and stole some property. No one was injured during the robbery, according to Baltimore County police. 

No description of the suspect or property stolen was immediately available. 

As of 8 p.m., the investigation into the robbery was ongoing, police said. 

The Joppa community is almost entirely included in Harford County, although a small portion is included in Baltimore County. The store's location is in Baltimore County, north of White Marsh and Kingsville. 

The Harford County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they were working with Baltimore County in investigating the robbery. 

Love Craft is a Baltimore metro area chain that sells pornography, lingerie and sex toys.

This sentence makes absolutely no sense. If the robbery occurred when someone entered the store and the robbery occurred in the Joppa community, then how can the store also be located in Baltimore County?

I rephrased it, maybe this helps: The Joppa community is almost entirely included in Harford County, although a small portion is included in Baltimore County. The store's location is in Baltimore County, north of White Marsh and Kingsville.

I guess he needed some vibrators for Christmas gifts!

Some one should inform him porn is free on the Internet.

Really a hammer? Obviously someone making a "Hot Topic," point about weapons and gun control- someone should have smacked this moron with one of the larger Dildo's they sell!

Pornography is rather an inflamatory word, perhaps erotica would be more appropriate.

At least he was smart enough to stay out of MidWay.

We need hammer control laws.
Terri December 16, 2012 at 07:35 pm
If we pass an anti-tool law, that would eliminate the 2 legged variety as well. Good one, Jon!
Eric Martin December 16, 2012 at 07:38 pm
I agree, Joni. People should not be allowed to walk the streets with hammers. No one but a trained, licensed contractor should be allowed to possess a hammer, especially assault hammers.

Joni, I love your comment!
Bill Howard December 19, 2012 at 06:38 pm
I have a hammer with a claw on the back. Will that be banned as an assault hammer?

This place is awesome. Used it a lot when my kid was 2-3. If I had another, I'd not hesitate to takeRead More him here. Then again, I watched my kid like a hawk - and you know, actually played WITH him - while we were there. As a result, my kid never came close to being injured by another unruly kid. Just saying.

My sister-in-law actually played with my nephew too Tim. Unlike EVERY OTHER single parent that wasRead More there. However, you can't tie your child to you. They came there to play. Bullies move very quick. When my nephew fell and was visibily scared, not a single parent except for one even noticed. Nobody from the library was in site. You are right that if parents were required to pay attention to their children then there would not be an opportunities for bullies because the parents of those bullies would be watching them also. When the group came from a religious school in Pikesville this is exactly what happened. All the parents stayed with their kids. All other parents, with little exception stayed in a waiting room talking amongst themselves paying little attention to their children. My nephew has been to all kinds of playgrounds and never been attacked by older kids before. Next time, if my nephew is attacked by an older child I will urge my brother to call the police and press charges against the parent. However, irreponsible Storyville need not worry -- won't be back there. Just wish our tax dollars weren't supporting this.

Let me put this in more practical terms. 1. My sister-in-law suggests that the bully seemed about 8Read More years old and probably shouldn't have been left at Storyville to begin with. There is no ID system at Storyville for childs age. 2. The bully caused various kinds of mayhem. Knocking down things, shouting, etc. No one from the library is actually in Storyville so there was no disciplinary action taken such as removing the child. 3. Parents should not view Storyville as a babysitter and not be allowed to congregate in the waiting area, leaving their children to play alone. 4. Items that could be used to cause serious injury should be removed from Storyville. 5. Cameras. If an 8 year old hits a 3 year old at Storyville where parents are suppose to be watching their children, I want proof for a court case. Yes, it's a shame it can't just be a pleasant place to take your kids but it isn't. It is filled with unrully children and uninterested parents. A child SHOULD NEVER leave a library with two bruises across his face EVER.
