Multiple Arrests Made At This Baltimore Co. Mall

PERRY HALL, MD — A "link-up" planned at White Marsh Mall over the weekend led to the arrests of "multiple juveniles," according to police.

A release issued by the Baltimore County Police Department detailed that "large groups of juveniles" had met at the mall on Saturday, and that charges — second-degree assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct — were filed in the case.

WMAR reported police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd of teens, three of whom had been arrested during the incident.

At the scene, two ambulances responded to treat injuries.

Police said a teen also informed officers of a shooting at the grounds, but that the report was later recanted.

An investigation into a reported robbery of one of the teens is ongoing.

Baltimore County Councilman David Marks said a public safety meeting scheduled for Tuesday at 6 p.m. would discuss the incident.

The meeting will be held at the Perry Hall Family Worship Center on 5125 E Joppa Road and livestreamed on Marks' Facebook page.

Representatives from the BCPD, The Avenue at White Marsh, and White Marsh Mall will be in attendance.
