Three men were involved in the first-degree burglary on Thornton Mill Road.
When two men broke into a Sparks resident's house, she yelled, threatening to call 911. That method seemed to work, because the pair and their accomplice left quickly in a vehicle, according to a report by Baltimore County police. The incident occurred between 10:30 and 10:40 a.m. Tuesday in the 14300 block of Thornton Mill Road, it states. The burglary reportedly began as three men came to the home in a dark-gray, four-door sedan. One suspect tried to distract the resident, while the two others forced open the rear door and got inside the home. "The homeoenwer yelled at the suspects that she was calling 911," the report states. The suspects left in a vehicle, in an unspecified direction, it states.

Woman thought she was sending money to bail her grandson out of jail.
A Phoenix woman was deceived by thieves who tried to swindle her out of $48,500, but Baltimore County police stopped the theft before her money was gone forever.

It was March 13 when the woman, 81, received a telephone call from someone who "advised her grandson needed $48,000 to bail him out" of jail, according to a police report. She wired the money to the suspect's account in California, then contacted her grandson in New Jersey and found the story she heard on the phone wasn't true, police said. "Schemes where suspects attempt to get the victims to send money for a variety of reasons are not uncommon," Batton said. "…

A man kicked in a Parkton resident's back door Sunday, but her presence startled him into running out the front door.
A burglar rang a doorbell, and when no one answered, he knocked, then kicked in the back door at a Parkton home. It was between 8:43 a.m. and 9:02 a.m. Sunday in the 19800 block of York Road, when a resident heard the noises from her front door, according to a report by Baltimore County police. She saw a man outside the front door, but then he kicked in the glass of the rear patio door and came in, the report states.

The following information regarding police activity in Lutherville-Timonium, Cockeysville, Hunt Valley and North County was supplied by the Baltimore County Police Department.
Notice anything a little different in this week's crime log? You should. We've mashed both Lutherville-Timonium and Hunt Valley-Cockeysville Patch's police blotters together. Why? Because there were a whopping three major crimes reported between Lutherville and the Pennsylvania state line last week. That's the good news. The better news? Based on the hyped-up snowstorm coming our way, we should see a second week of minimal crime stats. I say this based on experience with three years' worth of covering crime logs. Bad weather = fewer bad people on the streets. That said, there were three burglaries last week. Nothing was stolen in any of the cases; however, a Lutherville woman was arrested for causing a ruckus at a local hotel. Lutherville-…
