Dundalk Barricade Ends After Police Discover Suspect Had Left

Since around 8 a.m. Wednesday, Baltimore County police were on the scene of a barricade. Six hours later, police discovered the subject was no longer there.

The barricade outside the home in the 600 block of North Point Road led that road to be closed between Eastern and Carson avenues. Police didn't say what the warrant for the unidentified man, 27, was wanted for, but the barricade began when he refused to surrender to police.

A search carried out on the home around 2 p.m. led police to conclude he was no longer there, spokesman Cpl. Shawn Vinson said. Police haven't yet said how the man eluded police detection.
