Perry Hall Basketball Court Robbery Nets 9 Charges For Teen

PERRY HALL, MD — A teen has been charged after authorities say they linked him to three Perry Hall robberies in the past few months. One was on the basketball court at Perry Hall High School.

Cameron Jamal Thomas, 18, of the 2600 block of Kirk Avenue in Baltimore, is charged with nine offenses in connection with an incident that occurred Nov. 12, court records show.

Police allege Thomas and a friend acted like they wanted to join a basketball game at Perry Hall High School, then robbed the two teens who had been playing around 4 p.m. that day in the 4600 block of Ebenezer Road.

Thomas, who acted as if he had a gun, took a watch and cell phone from one victim while his friend pushed the other and stole that teen's cell phone, according to officials. The victim suffered injuries that police said were not life-threatening.

Thomas was charged with armed robbery; two counts of robbery; three counts of second-degree assault; and three counts of theft from $100 to under $1,500. He is also charged with second-degree assault and theft from $100 to $1,500 in a Jan. 28 case, court records show.

Officials allege around 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 28, Thomas ran up behind a teen who had been leaving Perry Hall High School and was walking on Ebenezer Road when he grabbed the cell phone and ran away.

Thomas is also accused of pretending he was armed to rob a woman on Ebenezer Road around 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 4, 2019. Police said he put his arms around the victim, told her he had a gun, then took her cell phone from her pocket and ran away.

Thomas is being held without bail after a bail review hearing Tuesday.

Officials say his accomplice is still at large in the Nov. 12 robbery on the Perry Hall High School basketball court. Call detectives at the White Marsh Precinct with information at 410-887-5040.
