Baltimore police arrest armed robbery suspect after high-speed chase

BALTIMORE, MD – A 36-year-old suspect was arrested late Monday night following an armed robbery, high-speed chase and foot chase in southwest Baltimore.

On Dec. 23 at approximately 11:57 p.m., a Southwest District officer observed a car with its lights off at a gas station in the 3900 block of Frederick Avenue. When the officer called the driver over, the individual stated that he had just been robbed at gunpoint and pointed to a gray Honda Civic speeding away from the scene.

Officers began to follow the vehicle with the help of Foxtrot, the police helicopter. Due to the suspect’s dangerous driving speed, patrol officers called off their pursuit, leaving Foxtrot to follow the vehicle into a neighborhood in the Northwest District. The suspect exited the car, fled on foot, but was referred to police by Foxtrot and apprehended.

A loaded handgun was recovered and the vehicle was reported stolen. Police also learned the suspect had an open warrant. The robbery victim was unharmed and his property was recovered.

The suspect was transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility (CBIF) for processing.
