Baltimore County Police say:
At approximately 5:20 this past Saturday morning Officers working
the Midnight Shift in Towson arrested 2 subjects for breaking into
vehicles in the Rodgers Forge Community. A Forge resident observed
these two subjects trying car door handles then enter those cars found
to be unlocked; this resident then called 9-1-1 for Police response.
Assisted by a K-9 Officer PC06 Officer Burns located the two subjects
and placed them under arrest when they were found in possession of
numerous items not belonging to them. No force was required in entering
any vehicle but the subjects were found in possession of numerous GPS
units, money, an ipad and also two bank cards at the time of their
arrest. These two were charged with nine theft cases following their
arrest.
The Thornleigh community has also seen a recent rash of thefts from
vehicles and although the method of theft is identical the two subjects
arrested denied any involvement when questioned about those crimes.
Once again I am passing this information along to all of our
community representatives of Towson to get the word out again to your
neighbors to properly secure all vehicles and property when not in use.
Anything of value (money, electronics, credit/debit cards, jewelry)
should be properly concealed and secured so as not to make for a welcome
target to these prowling individuals.
These persons are not targeting one specific neighborhood in Towson
for their activities, as we have seen many communities victimized in
recent months but they are looking for "easy" targets--unlocked vehicles
with unsecured property inside! Let's work together in eliminating this
criminal element from Towson and improve our quality of life. Secure
your property, keep a watchful eye on your street and when you see
suspicious persons or activity call 9-1-1 for Officers to respond and
investigate. We are stepping up our patrols, identifying those persons
who are suspicious and arresting those who are acting in a criminal
manner. Together we can make Towson a safer community for all.
Thanks,
Sgt Stephen Fink, 2815 PC06 COT
