The incident was reportedly over a shoplifting complaint at an Old Navy store, according to WBAL
Officers later conducted a traffic stop of the suspect vehicle at the intersection of Philadelphia Road and Hamilton Avenue, police said. During that stop, as officers were attempting to arrest the suspects, the driver of the vehicle began to ram police units and other vehicles with their car.
