Suspect in abduction sought

Baltimore police released this photo of a possible suspect in the robbery and abduction of a Guilford man who was attacked outside his home in broad daylight this week. It's one of a series of attacks in the North Baltimore neighborhood, and I'm writing a more detailed account in Friday's Crime Scene column.

Here are some details from police:

Northern District Detectives are looking to identify the individual pictured in the attachments. On January 12th at approximately 10:15am, this suspect approached an unsuspecting victim in the 400 block of Bretton Place. While armed with a silver revolver, he took the victim's wallet and then forced the victim into the trunk of his own car. The suspect then drove around with the victim in the trunk until the victim gave the suspect the pin number to his bank card.

UPDATE: A police source says that the victim was left in the trunk and the car was abandoned. He was able to free himself by kicking through the back seat.

The suspect attempted to withdraw money from the following ATM locations: M&T Bank located at 5234 York road, #1 Express located at 5211 York Road, BP Gas Station located at 5320 York Road and Corner Carry Out located at 5401 York road.

The suspect is a black male who stands approximately 6' tall and weighs approximately 160 lbs. He was wearing a black nylon Under Armor ski mask, dark blue hoodie, light blue jeans, purple New Balance sneakers, black gloves, and a long brown belt.  Detectives believe the suspect frequents the 5200 through the 5400 block of Greenmount Avenue.

Anyone who recognizes this suspect and or has information regarding this incident is asked to contact detectives  at the Northern District at 410-367-3105.

I have worked in the penal system for 18yrs. I have seen both the good and the bad of all. It is really annoying that Baltimore never has a war on anything until it involves the very well to do or the children of the very well to do. The problem with the drugs and abductions have since been in this city for a long time. However, it was not until the well to do's children started coming from miles and miles away to by drugs that now it became a problem. Some one has to be strong enough to stand up to the persons in the street who want to take what I have worked for instead of getting their own. To have a fear each night when I get off about stopping for gas, eggs anything is risking your life. I am one of the few who take pride in my job and I do it with no gun and no where to run. Most of my waking time is spent concentrating on who is around me for my safety and the safety of the public. Can someone bring back the day when being shot, abducted, raped was not a concern!
