The Baltimore Police Department has issued a public safety alert in response to a rise in carjackings that employ a method known as 'bump-and-rob.' This tactic involves suspects targeting vehicles and sometimes intentionally colliding with them, typically from behind.
According to police, when the driver exits their vehicle to assess any damage, the suspects take advantage of the situation. They approach the victim, threaten them, and proceed to steal the vehicle.
In light of these incidents, the police are advising drivers on how to react if confronted. Officials recommend that individuals do not resist and instead call 911 as soon as it is safe to do so.
For those with information regarding these carjackings, the Baltimore Police encourage reporting tips through Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP or via their online tip submission platform.
