It's ridiculous that the Preston girl was even given a bail. Her and the male accompliss attempted to murder the guy and she is walking the streets today. With a court system that even offers bail to white trash like that what needs to be reconsidered here. We need more vigilantes on the street with their type of street justice because the court system doesn't work for the innocent nor do the wanna be police.

The police are doing their jobs! It's the judges that let these criminals out and send them back to our communities to do more crimes. The court system is broken.

If the police were doing their jobs, then please explain to me why the crime is getting worse day by day! I can ride down the streets of Dundalk and see crime happening with my own eyes, why on earth are the police NOT patrolling?? Don't believe me, take an hour or so and ride through our streets and pay attention, you'll see what our community sees and the sleeping cops don't!

Tiffany,
The Dundalk police do an outstanding job in my opinion. They can be everywhere all the time, they respond to calls when the citizens call crimes in. They also get swamped with a lot of nuisance calls which takes them away from patrol. They are proactive have you ever been down to Turner Station, they have a patrol car sitting at the intersection of North/South Avondale. The CAT squad proactively sat in Edgemere looking to catch the arsonist I could go on. The problem is Dundalk is becoming a little Baltimore City. The city’s trash is moving into Dundalk and the crime is going up. And we can thank Baltimore County for allowing the number of section 8 housing in Dundalk.

Can't blame everything on section 8 and the city, like I said take a ride through Dundalk. Not only will you see crime with your own eyes, you'll see cops hidden in the backs of parking lots in as well! Furthermore the Preston girl is a long time Dundalk resident just like most of the addicts out robbing hard working people.

Well Tiffany if you see crime going on and you don't call then you are the problem as well. Don't blame the police if citizens don't call.

I really believe a stolen bike is a very low priority for them. Even though your son’s bike a loss for you and your son all they can do is get a description of the bike and the serial number. What else should they have done put out a BOLA for the missing bike? They have a description and if they come across it then you get it back. Sorry but that’s life. I find it hard to believe 3 hrs to respond to a burglary in progress. I remember a similar story but that was the city police. I guess next you’re going to blame the fire department for people’s houses burning down or someone dying of cardiac arrest because the equipment was sitting in the station instead of driving around the neighborhoods.
