Police warning: Daytime home burglaries on the rise in Baltimore County by traveling bands of thieves
(March 23, 2025) On Friday, police in Baltimore County shared some disturbing news concerning a marked increase in daytime burglaries involving traveling groups of thieves concentrating on homes with noticeably limited surveillance systems. Already this year, the first three months of 2025 have seen 30 reported cases of residential burglaries.
These bands of thieves typically operate in small, separate teams, often consisting of two to three women. They primarily target single-family homes in neighborhoods where residents tend to be older and have minimal video surveillance.
The groups often arrive in a suspect vehicle driven by a male accomplice, who drops off the women in the neighborhood. The women typically fabricate a story, usually claiming they want to buy something from the property owner. While one person distracts the homeowner, the others will force entry into a home through a side or back door.
Their primary focus is high-value jewelry. Once the burglary has occurred, the male suspect will pick up the women from a nearby location. If you are approached by one of these groups, you are urged to contact the police immediately.
