BALTIMORE, MD — Two teenage males have been arrested in connection with an armed carjacking that occurred early Thursday morning in the city’s Northwest District, police announced.
At approximately 3:40 a.m. on June 5, officers responded to the 3900 block of Fernhill Avenue, where a 46-year-old man reported being carjacked at gunpoint by three male suspects. Responding officers issued a description of the suspects and the stolen vehicle to patrol units citywide.
