On Saturday, May 16, 2015, at approximately 4 a.m. Ocean City police responded to the area of Somerset Street and Baltimore Avenue in reference to a theft in progress. When officers arrived, they witnessed the suspects leave the area with a very large object in the back seat of their vehicle and a rear door of the vehicle forced open.
Officers stopped the vehicle on Somerset Street and discovered that the object in the back seat was an ATM that had been stolen from a nearby parking lot. The driver and passenger of the vehicle, Austin H. Emerick, 19, of Lancaster, PA, and a 17-year-old male of Millersville, PA, were then arrested for theft. During a search of the vehicle, officers located a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Emerick and the 17-year-old juvenile were charged with theft of $10,000 to $100,000, malicious destruction and fourth degree burglary. Emerick was seen by a Maryland District Court Commissioner and released on $10,000 unsecured bond. The juvenile was released to his parents and referred to the Department of Juvenile Services.

Why is it that people come from PA. and leave every lick of sense at home. Maybe we should be banning them from Ocean City.
Brace to JUNEBUG Week!!!
They think they will be unnoticed because of the numbers of people in OC.
it is nice to see that both of them were released i hope they weren't inconvenienced
has anyone noticed the lack of class people who come to oc these days? anything for a buck! the place has gone so far downhill I rarely go there anymore. And if I do I feel like I need a shower when I get home!
