Men try to rob, then assault Giant worker outside store
Baltimore County police are searching for two men who tried to rob and then assaulted a Giant Foods worker outside a store in Owings Mills, in the police department's Precinct 3/Franklin district. The worker was retrieving grocery carts when he was attacked.
Police said the worker was hit when he told the men he didn't have any money. Here is a video from police. A statement with more details on the incident is below:
Baltimore County Police are investigating an assault and robbery that occurred in the parking lot of the Giant Food, located in the 9700-block of Groffs Mill Road, 21117 on July 16.

A 20-year-old employee told officers that he was retrieving carts from the parking lot when he was approached by two black males. The suspects asked the victim for his money.

Why is it taking a month to report this? This info should have been out there long before this?

(wannabe) Ofc. Cham,
I think you'd feel much more at home in Precinct 3, MD

Yeah I'd like to know why it took a month to get this info out as well. However, it was the New Town HOA's and Baltimore County police that released this info 2 days ago.
