A group of five teen boys jumped the 43-year-old victim after calling him to the area of Stilllmeadows Drive and Dove Court in Severn, claiming they had his missing dog, according to Anne Arundel County police.

The victim went to meet up with the caller around 2:40 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 29, where he encountered the group of teens. The teens were able to steal $250.00 from the man before fleeing the scene.
