Federal Grand Jury Indicts Baltimore Police Officers on Additional Robbery Charges

A federal racketeering case against officers in an elite unit of the Baltimore Police Department deepened Thursday with a new indictment alleging three of them robbed civilians of more than $280,000 over five years.
