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. Read last week's crime log here. Miscreants however did pry, smash, break and rip into locked or fenced-in properties for cash and in one instance a considerable chunk of copper wire.

Lutherville-Timonium started off the year strong, with zero major crimes to report in the area. Week 2 however, we were not so fortunate. There were five reported burglaries ranging from homes, to cars and to one business. The most harrowing entry depicted a multi-car smash-and-grab job on Greenmeadow Drive.
