Thanks for posting this. I saw someone claim they were kidnapped under similar circumstances earlier in the weekend while they assaulted him and forced him to pull out cash from atms. But im shocked that local news is barely covering this

Edit: Looks like the police finally confirmed at least 1 kidnapping

I live up by Baltimore and Linwood intersection, so kind of highlandtown adjacent and Love Highlandtown. When I moved here I thought I would be spending all of my time in Canton but lately I have been finding myself drawn over to Highlandtown way more often. There is a ton going on. Bunch of great bars and restaurants, easily walkable/bikeable to Canton, Fells, Patterson Patterson Park. Pretty affordable still, too. Would absolutely recommend it.

Fwiw, they rarely seem to actually get out there and ticket cars so before you spend tons of money for an immediate fix, ask yourself if the odds of getting ticketed X the cost of the ticket make letting it sit there OK
