2 Bel Air Teens Charged In Assault Near Dublin Elementary School

DUBLIN, MD — Two Bel Air teens have been charged with attempted carjacking and other offenses in an incident that put Dublin Elementary School on lockdown earlier this month, the Harford County Sheriff's Office reported this week. Both girls were charged as adults.

Authorities said that Bre’Anndon Jones, 16, and Tasia Jean-Pierre, 16, of the 2100 block of Kalmia Road, flagged down a man in the area of Kalmia Road and asked for a ride to Dublin Elementary School on May 10.

When he arrived at the school in the 1500 block of Whiteford Road, the girls sprayed something in his face and put what was believed to be a gun in his back as they tried to rob him, officials allege.

Jones, Jean-Pierre and the driver got out of the vehicle in the parking lot, where the girls ran away and the victim ran toward the school to get help, according to authorities.

Officers responded around 2:48 p.m. on May 10, and Dublin Elementary School was placed on lockdown.
