If you live in the North County -- and specifically, in the Cockeysville Precinct -- this important for you.  If not, you can read on...

Folks,

There have been a rash of thefts from autos in residential areas. We have tracked these thefts and they basically fall into five areas of the precinct listed below in general chronological order of occurrence:

1) Loveton Farms
2) W. Seminary Ave / Thornton Road area
3) South Timonium (between York and Dulaney Valley Roads, south of E. Timonium Road)
4) Springdale Community
5) Mays Chapel North

These thefts have occurred during the overnight hours on various dates between the 6/3/08 and 6/18/08. We do not know if all of these thefts are related. We have developed a suspect in one of the areas and have recovered some stolen property. We do believe that there are other subjects committing these crimes and I am asking that you remain alert for the following vehicles acting suspiciously in your neighborhoods that may be involved in these crimes:

• Gray or green van
• Gray Chevy Suburban with dual exhausts and upgraded wheel rims

Again...the common denominator with all of these thefts is that in the vast majority of cases, the car doors were left unlocked. That allows quick, easy and quiet access into the vehicle.

Please pass this information along to your neighbors while we investigate these thefts. Locking your car doors will reduce the chance that your property will be stolen. Please remain alert to suspicious persons, noises or activity, particularly during hours of darkness, and call 911 immediately to report such activity. If anyone has information concerning the two vehicles listed above, please contact the Precinct 7 Investigative Services Team at 410-887-1823.
