Baltimore County Police

Baltimore County, Md. (January 4, 2011) - The Baltimore County Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect who broke into a car and stole thousands of dollars of property from it while it was parked and locked in the unit-block of Painters Mill Road, 21117 in Precinct 3/Franklin.

The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5’8” tall, with a medium build. Police recovered evidence that captured the suspect’s image and his vehicle on a surveillance video.

Investigators say that police responded on November 19, 2010 at approximately 6 p.m. to a daycare facility where the victim was picking up her child. The victim stated that she parked her 2008 Honda Odyssey at the daycare, locked it, and went into the daycare to get her child. When she returned she found that someone had broken a window out of her vehicle and taken her purse, laptop computer, and other electronics and personal belongings that valued several thousand dollars.

Detectives recently were alerted that the suspect was captured on a surveillance video at an undisclosed convenience store. The suspect’s vehicle was also captured on the video.
