Baltimore County police say a mid-June run of armed robberies that had business owners on edge has ended with two men in custody. Detectives arrested the pair Thursday after tying together multiple commercial holdups reported over several days across the county. Both suspects were booked into the Baltimore County Detention Center, according to officials.
Where the robberies happened
Investigators say the incidents were reported on June 14 in the 6400 block of Baltimore National Pike, June 15 in the 9400 block of Fitzharding Lane, June 16 in the 6100 block of Deerbrook Road, June 21 in the 5200 block of Baltimore National Pike, and June 23 in the 1600 block of Forest Park Avenue. Detectives ultimately linked the five holdups while working cases across the Wilkens, Woodlawn, and Pikesville precincts, according to FOX45.
Who police say is responsible
Detectives identified the suspects as 28-year-old Timothy Evans Jr. and 29-year-old Diamante Gilliam. Both were taken to the Baltimore County Detention Center and are being held without bond while investigators continue reviewing the cases, CBS Baltimore reports.
