In the past week Towson Precinct Officers have taken five (5) reports of Residential Burglaries in the Pleasant Plains/Loch Raven Community. I am directing this email to all my Community Contacts along the Loch Raven corridor because this kind of Crime and information is beneficial to all. Please alert your neighbors of this information and to remain alert as to activities in your neighborhoods.
Areas that were victimized include: 1600 block Hardwick Rd, 7900 block Beverly Rd, 1300 and 1400 blocks of Putty Hill Ave and the 8500 block of Pleasant Plains Rd.
Two Burglaries we’ve positively determined to have occurred during the daylight hours but believe all five to have happened during the day. Entry in all cases was made via basement access. Three (3) were by breaking out a basement window and two (2) by breaking out the glass on the basement door. Once inside those responsible took computers, televisions, jewelry and in one incident a bottle of alcohol was taken which was then located in another burglarized residence.
Your assistance is needed to get the word out that these burglaries are happening, they’re occurring during the day and the subject/s are attacking basement windows to gain entry. If you or your neighbors hear glass breaking and/or see suspicious subjects in the area please call 9-1-1 immediately so our Officers can respond to the area to investigate and hopefully make apprehensions and recover property. Thus far our Detectives and Officers have not identified any Suspect information so anything that can be provided to us is greatly appreciated. Persons may contact the Precinct at 410-887-2361 with information and we’ll put them in contact with the Detectives. For Suspicious Persons, Activities or Crimes call 9-1-1 immediately!
Thank You, Sgt Stephen Fink, 2815 PC06 COT

From Wiltondale COP:
I am writing to let you know that yesterday (Tuesday) at approximately 2:00pm there was an attempted burglary on the 7100 block of Bristol Road. The burglar, wearing a ski mask, entered the house, went upstairs, where he encountered the owner of the house who had been sleeping. He then fled the house without taking anything. Although numerous police officers, including a K-9 unit, searched for the burglar, he was not caught.
The same afternoon, a package was taken from the porch of a different house on the same block of Bristol Road. The package was retrieved by police on Hatherleigh Road. It had been opened, but none of the contents had been taken.
I want to stress that both of these incidents took place mid-afternoon. This may not be a time when we expect crimes to occur, but the events of yesterday make clear that crime can happen at any time. Please do hesitate to call 911 if you see anything that looks suspicious. The non-emergency number for Baltimore County actually gets answered by a 911 operator, so there is no reason not to call 911, even to report suspicious activity. Additionally, please do what you can to maintain the safety of your home, including keeping doors locked, keeping some lights on, locking cars, and keeping garage doors closed. If you are expecting packages and know that you will not be home, you may wish to arrange with a neighbor to be on the lookout for the delivery.
I will do my best to keep you informed of reported crimes in our neighborhood. Yet, I also want to repeat what has been reported by our COP coordinators; namely, we live in a very low crime neighborhood relative to many local communities. This is due in part to the efforts of our neighbors, efforts that can always use extra help in the form of COP patrols.
We are a stronger and safer neighborhood when we look out for each other.
