Lutherville-Timonium Crime: Businesses, Homes Burglarized
The following information was supplied by the Baltimore County Police Department. In cases where a criminal charge is noted, the information provided does not indicate a conviction.
Burglars had to work a little harder this week for their scores. It seems Timonium residents have begun to take to heart the persistent police advice: "lock your doors and windows."
In only one of the five reported burglaries last week did a thief take advantage of an unlocked door. And it was for whopping $9—in quarters.
