BCPD Report from Sgt. Fink of Precinct 6:
Assault - BEECHWOOD AND ST. ALBANS
On
the evening of Wednesday, 9/19 a member of the Idlewylde Community
Association was walking home from the meeting when he was physically
assaulted by four subjects upon their exiting a vehicle. The incident
was documented as a First Degree Assault (a Felony) with the Victim
receiving treatment at an area Hospital.
Officers and detectives from precinct 6 canvassed the neighborhood of the attack searching for the suspects and vehicle. Thursday morning, 9/20 officers were directed to a suspicious vehicle parked in the 900 block of Overbrook Rd.
Upon investigation this vehicle had been reported stolen to Baltimore
City police a few weeks prior to this incident. Detectives observed the
parked vehicle and when several subjects approached and entered it they
were arrested. At the conclusion of the investigation it was determined
that these individuals were the ones responsible for the assault of the
victim thus they were charged. The victim was released from the Hospital
following treatment and is recovering at home.
Several points we would like you to disseminate to your fellow residents:
* Anytime you observe criminal or suspected criminal activity please call 9-1-1 so that we can respond and investigate.
* In
all neighborhoods properly lock and secure all property in and around
your residence. This includes locking all vehicles and taking all keys
out of the vehicle.
Through interviews of residents in the 900 block of Overbrook Rd it
was learned that this vehicle had been parked on that street for quite
some time, it was not recognized as belonging in the area but no one
ever called the Police to have it checked out. At the time of its
reported theft the vehicle was left unlocked with the keys inside thus
making it very easy to steal and operate.
If
the vehicle owner had properly locked the vehicle and taken the keys
out of the vehicle the vehicle would have been much harder to steal, let
alone operate at that time or any time after. Once the vehicle was
seen as not belonging on Overbrook Road had an officer had been
requested at that time a stolen vehicle would have been recovered and
thus not used by those responsible for the assault on the evening of
9/19.
Along these same lines as
Police we have seen a recent increase in property theft from motor
vehicles parked in the area but not properly locked and secured. Through
reports, investigations and arrests detectives have determined that
groups of individuals are moving through neighborhoods along the York Rd
and Loch Raven Blvd corridors trying car doors and every time they find
an unlocked vehicle they are going in and removing anything that may
have value. They are not forcing open or damaging any vehicles during
these thefts thus any vehicles that are securely locked they are not
bothering. They are looking for the easiest vehicles to enter and none
are more so than those left unlocked or with windows open.
So
please get the word out to please secure all property properly, lock
your car doors and for that matter all sheds, garages or other out
buildings on ones property.
As
Police we cannot guarantee that even by doing these things you will not
be the victim of a crime but you at least make your property very hard
to enter and remove thus reducing the probability of being a victim. We
all have an active role in reducing crime in Towson and by properly
locking and securing all property you are taking a major step to that
goal. Notifying the Police when you see criminal or suspected criminal
activity is another big step to that same goal.
Thank You for your assistance, Sgt Stephen Fink, 2815 PC06 COT
Perhaps you should post something about the neighborhood bike collector who takes unattended bikes (and I assume other items) from the alleys. The new RFCA president discovered him a few weeks back. Our neighbors who've reported stolen bikes to the police will be relieved to know they ended up in the hands of a collector instead of a thief. The police may also like to talk to this collector as well, so thay can clear out some of the police reports.
