On November 18 at 1:17 a.m., officers responded to the 6500 block of Hungerford Road in Bryans Road, MD for the report of a subject breaking into vehicles. Upon arrival, officers observed several vehicles had been broken into. One of the officers, who is also a drone operator, deployed a drone to help as officers canvassed the area. A short time later, officers received a call from a resident in a nearby neighborhood regarding someone attempting to break into cars. Officers directed the drone to the area and observed a subject matching the description of the suspect. Footage from the drone showed the suspect in the act of breaking into a car on Crake Court. Officers responded to the area and observed the suspect who fled upon seeing them. The suspect was apprehended after a brief foot chase without further incident. The area was canvassed, and a total of nine vehicles were broken into. The suspect, age 15, was charged on a juvenile offense report with destruction of property, theft, and other related charges.
