Baltimore police are looking to identify several people caught in surveillance images in connection with a string of crimes earlier this month in Federal Hill. Multiple business were vandalized and dozens of cars were broken into early in the morning of Sunday, July 13.

A photo posted to social media Monday by the Baltimore Police Department showed the individuals they are hoping the public can help identify.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Southern District detectives at 410-396-2499.

Businesses vandalized in Federal Hill

Surveillance video from the Federal Hill Cleaners on Charles Street showed the front glass door being shattered on July 13.

Ham Kim, the owner of the cleaners, said the vandalism happened around 4:15 a.m.

Footage showed three teens walking by the business and attempting to yank on the locked door. One teen kicked in the door, shattering the glass.

The Papa John's location on South Hanover Street and Facci Ristorante on Light Street got hit by burglars on Saturday morning, a day prior.

62 cars were broken into 

Police said 62 cars were recently broken into in the Federal Hill community.

The break-ins happened in the unit block and 200 block of East Montgomery Street, the 600 block of South Charles Street, and the 600 block of Washington Boulevard near Camden Yards.

On Monday morning, repairs were still being made to cars. Several vehicles parked on the road had garbage bags taped over the broken windows.

Residents concerned about crime

The wave of vandalism and car break-ins left residents calling for a stronger public safety response. Some residents said that crime had become commonplace in the Federal Hill community. 

"A number of my neighbors on this block have been victims of violent crime, particularly physical assault," Jen Covino, Public Safety Chair of the Federal Hill Neighborhood Association, said. "We've had armed robberies happen on the street right in front of my former house over there."  

Michael Brassert, a Federal Hill resident for the last 20 years, told WJZ that in the last few years the neighborhood has become "lawless," especially with the rise in juvenile crime.

"There really has to be a lot less tolerance for the lawlessness that we have in the city," Brassert said.
