BALTIMORE — A 13-year-old's court ordered home monitoring system placed him at the scene of three violent crimes in less than 24 hours.
Baltimore Police say the spree began July 26, just before 6:45am, on Guilford Avenue.
That's where a woman reported being attacked by a pair of juveniles.
The duo allegedly pulled up in a black Hyundai, chased the victim back to her car, and began beating her with a black object.
Luckily, the victim was able to put the car in reverse escaping further injury.
The following morning around 5:30am, officers got a second call, this time in the 100 Block of E. Lanvale Street.
Here a woman told police three suspects jumped out of a dark sedan, demanding her car keys, cell phone, and wallet.
The victim complied and the trio took off in her vehicle.
Later in the evening, a third woman filed a report.
She claims while headed to the store, three suspects approached in a black sedan, similar to victim number two's account.
They proceeded to rob her at gunpoint, making off with a purse, money, and house keys.
On July 28 detectives obtained a tag number of the suspects sedan described in each incident.
Investigators located the sedan and victim two's stolen vehicle on Highland Avenue.
Thanks to a GPS ankle device, police identified a 13-year-old boy as one of three suspects involved.
It appears the teen is no stranger to law enforcement.
"The juvenile has 18 previous felony arrests in Baltimore City," BPD wrote on their official Facebook Page. "The investigation is still ongoing to identify the other individuals involved."
City leaders have recently touted year-over-year decreases in murders and shootings, however, last month U.S. News & World Report listed Baltimore as the nation's fourth most dangerous place to live.
The publication's rankings were based on FBI data tracking the number of murders and property crime per 100,000 residents.
Baltimore also ranked third highest on Numbeo’s mid-year 2025 Crime Index.
