PERRY HALL, MD—Police have made an arrest in connection with an assault and robbery that occurred near Perry Hall High School last fall.

The robbery occurred at about 3:45 p.m. on November 12, 2019.

As the victims approached a crosswalk, the suspect asked to borrow their phone.

The victims refused and the suspect and a second individual followed them to the basketball courts.

The suspect then implied a gun and stole an Apple Watch from the victim.

A second suspect then shoved one of the victims into a fence and stole his phone.

“I can confirm that an individual has been arrested in connection with the four thefts in the vicinity of Perry Hall High School,” said Councilman David Marks on Monday night. “The Baltimore County Police Department will release more details. Thank you to all who supported our police, and to our law enforcement community for its work.”
