Baltimore County Police Chief: 'No Unusual Activity Here'

Despite the fact that three malls closed in Baltimore County on Tuesday, Police Chief Jim Johnson said there was no need for businesses and citizens to modify their plans after the Baltimore City riots.

“We have experienced no unusual activity here, and there are no indications that anything unusual is planned,” Johnson said at approximately 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

Authorities say they are continuing to monitor social media and other sources to stay apprised of potential protest-related activities and are prepared to respond should anything occur; however, they said there were no threats at this time.

“Our county is uneventful and safe,” Chief Johnson said. “There is no need for businesses, schools and other institutions to disrupt normal operations.”
