Police say man was abducted in Towson, forced to take cash from ATM

A man was kidnapped in downtown Towson and ordered to take money out of an automatic teller machine last week, according the Baltimore County Police Department.

According to the police report, the man was walking to his car in a parking lot near the corner of Washington Avenue and Allegheny Avenue between 4:50 and 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 26, when two men approached him. One of the men had a silver handgun and ordered the man to drive them to an ATM, the police report said.

The victim stopped at the Bank of America ATM on York Road and withdrew $300 for the men, who then ordered him to drop them off somewhere in Baltimore City.

Police spokeswoman Cathy Batton said the exact location where the man dropped the kidnappers off was still under investigation, though she believed it may have been somewhere in the Eastern District, she said.
