Baltimore, MD - April 28, 2025 - The Baltimore Police Department on Monday announced the arrests of 16 juveniles following several incidents over the weekend.
Officers said the suspects range in age from 13 to 17 years old. Eleven of the suspects have prior arrest records, including two juveniles who have each been arrested more than nine times.
Police said the crimes committed by the teenagers over the weekend included robbery, auto theft, burglary, handgun violation and aggravated and common assault.
“It is incredibly frustrating to see young people involved in violent crimes across our city,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said. “Our officers are working every day to keep our neighborhoods safe, but real, lasting change requires all of us, from our families, schools, community leaders and the justice system working together. We cannot arrest our way out of this problem. We need accountability, early intervention and real support for our youth to break this cycle and build a safer future for Baltimore.”
Thirteen of the suspects were transported to the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center, while the remaining three suspects were transported to the Baltimore Central Booking Intake Center.
Seven of the juveniles transported to the Juvenile Justice Center were released to a guardian.
