MDTA Police Make Arrests in Thefts of Airport Rental Vehicles

Two Charged in Thefts of Vehicles with Combined Value of More Than $660,000

Hanover, Md. (June 18, 2020) – Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police and members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested two people Monday following a lengthy investigation into the theft of numerous vehicles from the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport rental car facility.

MDTA Police detectives charged 26-year-old Shakierra D. Scott of the 2200 block of Round Road in Baltimore City and 31-year-old Travis J. Scott of the same address in connection with thefts of 28 rental cars between May and July 2019. The vehicles had a combined value of more than $660,000.

Detectives allege Ms. Scott used her position as a security officer with Allied Universal Security Services, a company contracted by rental car companies at BWI Marshall Airport, to allow Mr. Scott to drive the rental cars from the secure facility without a rental contract. Police allege the two then sold the rental cars.

Shakierra D. Scott and Travis J. Scott each face numerous charges including theft scheme greater than $100,000 and 28 counts of unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.

The MDTA Police thank the Baltimore Police Department and the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office for assistance with this investigation.

Following unanimous approval from the Board of Public Works, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will begin construction to expand and modernize the MARC train storage facilities at the Martin Maintenance Yard in Baltimore County. Expanding storage capacity at the rail yard is a key component to delivering more frequent service that better serve existing, changing and new travel markets as outlined in the MARC Growth and Transformation Plan.

Hello

The project scope includes increased storage capacity for MARC Trains at the Martin Maintenance Yard (located near Martin State Airport), new tracks with catenary electrification, crossover tracks, a new inspection pit, and equipment that includes water hydrants, air piping extensions and light fixtures to support train car maintenance. The $35 million investment in improvements and increased capacity for the Martin Maintenance Yard is set to begin later this fall, with completion slated for summer 2027. It is supported by a discretionary grant from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program.
