BALTIMORE, MD — Baltimore Police have apprehended two 15-year-old males following an attempted carjacking incident in the Central District. The arrest occurred on Wednesday evening around 5:40 p.m. on the 400 block of West Saratoga Street.

The incident unfolded when four males allegedly surrounded the victim and attempted to steal his cell phone and scooter keys. The victim’s calls for help to nearby pedestrians prompted the suspects to flee the scene.

Central District officers responded promptly to the scene after being alerted. They successfully located and arrested two of the suspects, who were then transported to Juvenile Booking for processing.

The police are continuing their investigation into the incident and are seeking the other individuals involved. The quick response of the officers and the community’s assistance were crucial in preventing the escalation of the incident and securing the arrests.
