Towson, MD – An alleged attempted kidnapping in a Towson neighborhood has led to the arrest of a 19-year-old suspect, according to Baltimore County Police. Detectives say the incident, which involved three children, occurred last week and prompted an immediate investigation.
According to the Baltimore County Police Department, officers responded on December 4, 2025, to the 8300 block of Edgedale Road after receiving a report of a suspicious person. When officers arrived, they learned a male subject had allegedly approached three young children and attempted to persuade them to follow him away from the area.
Police say the children did not leave with the suspect and were able to get to safety, prompting parents and neighbors to alert authorities. Detectives from the Towson Precinct canvassed the area, gathered witness statements, and reviewed available evidence.
Through what investigators described as coordinated efforts, detectives identified Cameron Keelan, 19, as the suspect in the case. According to police, Keelan was arrested on Monday and has been charged with attempted kidnapping. He is currently being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Authorities are urging anyone who may have had prior contact with the suspect—or who may have information related to the incident—to contact investigators at 410-887-2361.
Residents in the Towson area said police activity has increased in recent days as officers continue following up on leads connected to the investigation.
