A group of five men robbed a 14-year-old boy of his shopping bag outside Arundel Mills mall after he walked out of a Bed Bath & Beyond store about 2 a.m. Friday, Anne Arundel County Police said.
The victim told police the men accosted him on the sidewalk just outside the store, one of them punched him and another stole a bag containing merchandise he had just purchased. The suspects, who the boy described as black men aged 17 to 21 wearing black North Face jackets and jeans, ran away toward the mall's Bass Pro Shops entrance.
Police searched the area but could not find the suspects.
The boy's parents were contacted and he declined medical treatment for a minor injury at the scene.
Arundel Mills opened at midnight Friday for shoppers seeking holiday discounts.
A security guard rolled through Arundel Mills mall at a pace a little faster than a stroll Friday morning, his Segway patrol crossing in front of the Bed Bath & Beyond where police said the robbery occurred.

Farthest I’ve gone today is my walk down to the post office and back.
I went to K mart. It was just like any other day to be truthful.
What kind of parents would let a 14 year old shop at 2:00 AM and apparently alone?
Now you know what is wrong with our society.
Yep, Amish.
Yep, they were hunters - probably Republican NRA members. :)

Aack! I lived not too far from where they built this horrendous mall. It attracts a lot of bad actors. So glad we moved away from there.
Yep, the night camouflage Amish.
Ain't that one the them illegal racist whistles or something? That boy I hope has got a good lawyer who can handle the Obama/Holder Dept. of Just Us and their people.
I have been to this mall a number of times when I was in the Maryland area on business. The mall is a mad house on normal shopping days. I can only imagine how bad it would be on Black Friday. Oh, the mall is located in a fairly affluent section of Maryland, but much human flotsam and jetsam drifts into the mall from less prosperous areas nearby. Police and ambulance sirens are a somewhat regular occurrence there. It’s kind of like a yuppie paradise complete with a Medieval Times theater periodically disturbed by barbarian incursions. Yeah, Diversity is grand.
“The suspects, who the boy described as black men...”
Wow, there’s a shocker.
Not exactly the smartest place for Amish guys to hide;)
But the disguises as young Black men was a stroke of genius...
Worse than that... what kind of a 14-year old boy would be shopping at a “Bed, Bath, and Beyond” ?
In this case, little Bruce deserves our symphathy.
One might say it could be a “hate” crime.
