Reward posted in Eastside rape cases

The Baltimore branch of the NAACP is announing a Metro Crime Stoppers award for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of two rape suspects from East Baltimore. They also are going to hit the streets Saturday to warn people and pass out fliers that have sketeches of two people being sought (anyone with information is urged to contact a hotline: 888-223-0033):

We are calling on the entire community, especially our men, to join us on Saturday, November 28, 2009 at 12:00 noon on the parking lot of Knox Presbyterian Church – 1300 N. Eden Street to pick-up flyers and then assist us with the distribution of the flyers.

We have attached a flyer, as well, and encourage everyone able to do such to also making copies.  Please do not alter the flyers in anyway!

As you know there have been a number of assaults of women in East Baltimore. 

If you need to contact me 410/669-8683.  Leave me a message starting on Wednesday that you will participate and bring others along with you.

We are hoping for as many citizens, especially men, as possible.  Please pass this information along to immediately.

Our distribution area is as follows:
Oliver St to the north
Old Town Mall area (Orleans St) to the south Greenmount Ave to the West Eden St to the east

Key areas would be:
Latrobe Homes off of 900 Ensor St
Apts in rear of Old Town Mall (501 and 503 McElderry St) Apts off of 1100 Orleans St.
Stores in Old Town Mall (500 Gay)
Businesses on Greenmount Av

Dr. Marvin L. Cheatham, Sr.

P.S.  We are asking every organization to send us representatives.  The more volunteers we have the quicker we can distribute the flyers and the more extensive we can distribute.

Here is the flyer:

the naacp should be prasied for putting out a reward for thease criminals,it is the only way they will be caught.this police department is not doing all that it can to catch thease guys,why? because its in the balck community.let it be in a white community and you would see results,and quickly

Believe it or not, Mr. Tindel, plenty of white people ride the bus in Baltimore City.

I've seen the rapist numerous of times and everytime I call the police...they don't get there in time to catch him. I'm talkn bout the rapist with the hat on. This dude hangs over west now on the 15 bus stop and nobody recognizes his face. So sad. This rapist need to get caught soon!

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.



Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
