Following up on an item from earlier this week, Baltimore police say they have arrested a man who was being sought in connection with a series of armed convenience store robberies in the Hampden area. Devin Young, 19, of the 4000 block of Evans Chapel Rd, was taken into custody Friday and charged with one count of armed robbery from July 24. He is being held on $175,000 bond as the investigation continues.
Police said they were led to Young thanks to tips from the public after the surveillance photos were disseminated to the media.
Young has past arrests in Baltimore County, court records show. In 2007, he was convicted of being a minor in possession of a handgun and received a two-year suspended sentence. The next year, he was charged with car theft - those charges were dropped. He was convicted of assault later that year, with records showing that his sentence was that he continue on probation on the condition that he "resume medication."
