Here we go with the section 8 trash living in the old Greenbrier apartments again. Might as well put bars on this shopping center and make it look like something down on North Avenue.

U would think the cops would have someone stationed there full time. That mall gets robbed constantly!

What about a better description. What color eyes, skin, hair? Clothes aren't much help.

When will this madness stop???

If they had guns in the stores it would stop. You stroll up in my trailer looking for a pot of gold I can tell you that there ain't nothing waiting but Wayne in his fruit of the looms holding a double barrel mossberg.

Is this right by the Safeway and Dollar tree?

These comments are ridiculous usually when someone robs a place at gunpoint most people don't get a description of their eyes and hence why they wear this type of clothing so they can't see what color skin or hair they have and I don't remember the mall getting robbed but I do know they have shoplifters all the time totally different then a armed robbery

The real problem here is that these robberies continue and are getting worse while the cops sit behind the green brier shopping center writing stop sign tickets to law abiding citizens all day. Practically every store in that center has been robbed. None oif the robberies have been solved. It is time for these lazy cops to get out of their cars and on foot patrol. This is just b.s.

I shop there all the time. Thanks for letting me know what a dangerous place it is. Maybe I should head to Baltimore -- would probably be a little safer there now that everyone that has moved up from Baltimore over the past 40 years is already here!

Saw a man getting arrested last Sunday morning near the liquor store as I was coming out of Safeway at 10:45. This is getting out of control and I'm afraid to live as close to the shopping mall as I do. Has anyone brought up this situation at the Bel Air town meetings? Something has got to be done to curb all of the crime occurring in the area.

It's obviously a black guy. Because when it's a white guy, they always say it in the description, but when it's a black guy they never mention color.

Can we get some pics?! I bet it's related to the recent Royal Farms robbery.

That shopping center and the entire neighborhood around it are in danger of being know as the bad side of town and all because of one apartment complex. How long you think Safeway stays there when they lose customers due to fear...what then moves in there? I'm bettin' something like Aldi's so you'll end up with a shopping center that includes a liquor store, Aldi's, The Dollar Store and a bunch of empty storefronts...Sensations and the rest of them move out and what do you have then? Voila you have Edgewood.

Edgewood...or Essex North, wait that's Abingdon. My how things change.

The mall needs Gabriels, checking cashing store and a head shop, so they can sell crack pipes.

The liquor store will probably get a bulletproof lexan wall and transact money through a drawer.

The entire area is trashy.....

Yea...and Maryland is passing the law Oct. 1st to bann assault rifels from law biding citizens. We need to allow these law abiding citizens to pack an AK 47 see how many times they get robbed after that

All we need now is light rail and that will put the last nail in this coffin.....

Ahhh man that ain't lake trout?

What's next the chicken box ain't chicken?

That's just wrong.

What a bunch of racist people we have here.......It's not the race/ethnicity that's the problem. We, as a society, are losing morals and decency.....I don't necessarily mean religion, but it's the social class and what we instill in our children, family and neighbors. Sounds to me some of you here fall in that catagory.

We need a chicken and waffles place!

The SD is not lazy, but they can't protect the citizens/business on the front side of the Shopping Center because to do so would cause a decrease in revenues they are creating by hiding on the back side of the Shopping Center. David Craig is counting on that extra money that comes from writing speeding tickets & Stop sign running tickets to give County workers another Bonus. HCSO & Government needs to get their priorities straight, before someone gets hurt or killed!!

Did I just hear on the scanner the Walgreens in Greenbriar got robbed?

That's why I never go there to shop in the evenings anymore. Pretty soon I won't be going there at all. It's very scary and nothing, I'm afraid, will be done unless and until someone gets killed (again). It's upsetting that the folks who are paid to provide governance operate in a knee-jerk reactionary approach instead of being preventative.

Lake Trout and Chicken aside, section 8 people are in situations where they need help. HOWEVER, section 8 also brings an unwanted element. The good S8 people want to get rid of the bad S8 people as much as we do. The problem is the process of allowing the bad S8 people in. In my uneducated opinion, if you are eligible for S8 and you have a criminal record, you (and your family) will never be allowed to get S8 housing. But our liberal state government does not see it that way. They would rather take guns away from store owners and raise gas taxes to pay for that light rail extension to Bel Air. I have not gone back to Italian Sensations in 3 years because of the crime.

That part of Bel Air is the new Edgewood. You people blaming it on Section 8 are dumb BTW.

I'm proud to say, Mr. Jacobs, my family has been in Harford County since the early 1800's.
Crime can happen in any neighborhood. Some more than others for various reasons. There are plenty of decent people on assistance these days that certainly would rather not be. Remember the bank robber in Connecticut a few years back? He was a white male from a very well off area (more than HC) who lost his job on Wall St. Just the banter about any one group of people causing the crime isn't fair. I stand on what I believe is the problem......and I have always locked my doors....It just makes sense.

Crime, in the last decade, has increased in the suburbs....for various reasons and most criminals pick easy targets until it's not so easy.

It appears the suspected robber gunman in the Fountain Glen/Greenbrier area is a white male in his 20's.........Ha! So much for assumptions.......

Bel Air needs to put more police in/around this shopping center as well the apartment complex, for it seems obvious these thugs are on foot and most likely reside at the apartments or know someone who does.
