Towson and surrounding area Crime reports

[Michael S]

I would like to start a discussion about what is really happening around Towson. From what I have seen most things in our area do not get reported on the news.


Last night just off Dulaney Valley Road in Hampton my 80-year-old aunt had someone come into her house. They stole her purse and when she went outside to investigate. A large, hooded male was standing around the corner and stole her cell phone out of her hand. The police were called, and I was over shortly afterward. We saw two cars pull up and watched us for a while and then left. I think they decided she was no longer an easy target.

This happened around 8pm. We called the police back with the location of the cell phone in Baltimore city around 11pm. The police did not come until 1:30pm.

I don’t know how to put this as delicately as I’d like to but, we should be discussing the well established and proven reality they will very likely (are going to) return!

Public transportation introduced the hood rats to better pickings.

What is a “hood rat”? Care to elaborate?

Up date apparently they were back to night. Near Hampton mansion. This time police came in 3 minutes. With canine unit. And park police. I hope the catch them. Still want to know why that didn't happen last night.

I’m in Towson. My truck has been broken into twice now. Steer clear of the mall.

When the light rail was shut down at Hunt Valley, there was an undeniable decrease in crime. The crime rate once again skyrocketed when the loot rail re-opened. There is no denying the correlation to the crime rate.

I'm sure plenty of criminals in the city have their own transportation. And let's not pretend that the county doesn't have its own criminal element. The people stealing catalytic converters out of cars in Cockeysville probably aren't carrying them on the light rail or MTA buses!

Having said that, there at least anecdotally seems to be an uptick in crimes like carjackings and other armed robberies up the York Rd. corridor through and beyond Towson.

As a professor at TU, I can attest to the fact that the area is getting very hood...

Michael S, I don't mean to be crass, but did your aunt vote for the likes of Johnny Olshieewski ?

I don't, but I will say me and her do not see eye to eye on everything.

Towson today is like Govans was 30 years ago. They might as well rename York Rd to Greenmount Ave all the way to the Beltway

I’ll add that ‘rat’ is meant in a negative way.

Even without light rail, the Hampton area is right close to the highway exits to the South.

If they catch them, see if they have my mom's ring.. Ok, it was over 30 years ago, but we use to live off of Pot Springs. These thugs followed my parents home from the city, and we were robbed at gun point in our home. Cops then told us this had happened to another family, about a month before off of Pot Springs too.

It needs to be changed to Greenmount all the way to Hunt Valley!

I remember when the Light Rail opened and when it happened, cars and bike theft skyrocketed. Especially bike theft!
