Baltimore Police Stage Pre-Dawn Raids in Penn North Mass-Overdose Probe

Officials say the investigation remains active with efforts focused on tracing the supply behind July’s overdoses.

Overview

  • Police confirmed at least four early-morning searches as enforcement actions connected to the July 10 mass overdoses in West Baltimore.
  • Addresses included the 1200 block of North Carey Street, 1300 block of North Woodyear Street, 2100 block of Brunt Street, and the 400 block of North Eutaw Street.
  • At least one person was taken into custody, and authorities have not announced charges or released substantive details.
  • Court records show the person sought at the North Carey Street address has prior drug convictions and was recently released on bond in a felony car-theft case.
  • The July incident sickened roughly 35 people and triggered a large, coordinated emergency response that officials say helped prevent fatalities.
