Alert! County Police Need Your Help!

From the Baltimore County Police Department:

Good Day, want to give everyone information reference to a crime trend affecting several communities in Towson.

Since March of this year there have been nine (9) residential burglaries plus a suspicious condition targeting single homes, townhomes and apartments. Between PC06 Officers and Detectives, Burglary Detectives and Crime Analysis we've learned these burglaries are occurring from late afternoon to very early morning hours during the week--mostly Mondays and Wednesdays.

The person(s) responsible have targeted rear entry points--windows or doors--and they've unscrewed exterior lights on some homes to hide the activities.

Property taken has been electronics--televisions, laptops, ipods--and money, mostly small items, close to the point of entry, easily removable and even concealable (smaller items).

With everything that has been determined thus far we are asking that you, once again, get the word out to your residents to properly secure their homes, outbuildings (sheds, garages), and belongings to protect against these types of crimes.

Should anyone observe suspicious vehicles or persons in the area please call 9-1-1 so an Officer can respond to investigate.

As expressed in past messages by doing their part to secure and protect their property the residents are truly helping to reduce the frequency of crime in the Towson area. We all want the entire Towson community to be as safe and peaceful as possible and by everyone taking an active part we can accomplish this goal.

Possible person and vehicle of interest: 30-40 year old African-American male with a scruffy beard; a bright red car, possibly a Honda or Nissan. No further descriptions on either presently, but will update you as the information comes to us.

Thank You,
Sgt Stephen Fink, PC06 Community Outreach Team
