BOLTON HILL — On Wednesday night in the 100 block of Lafayette Street, a neighbor reported a burglary of a third floor apartment. Baltimore Police confirmed a window and door had been damaged, but the victim could not identify any property that had been taken.

It’s a crime that might normally stand out in the typically quiet neighborhood, but it’s the latest in a string of break-ins this year.

According to Baltimore City open data, there have been 28 burglaries reported in Bolton Hill in 2025 so far. This time last year, there were six. Many reported on Bolton Street, which intersects with Lafayette.

“Last year was a great year. It really went down, you know, we have spikes every once in a while,” Prost said.
