Man Arrested After U-Haul Used to Remove ATM From Towson Convenience Store

Surveillance footage and recovery of the vehicle give investigators a clearer path to link several recent Baltimore County burglaries to a single suspect.

Overview

  • Police arrested a man, which occurred Wednesday after officers responded to a burglary at the Quick Mart on Loch Raven Boulevard and found that an ATM had been removed and a U-Haul was involved.
  • Officers began a brief pursuit but discontinued it for safety and sheriff's deputies located the U-Haul and took the suspect into custody in Harford County hours later.
  • Surveillance video obtained by local reporters shows the U-Haul ramming the store's glass before the driver exited and hauled the ATM out and the Quick Mart owner told reporters that cash was also taken from the register.
  • Investigators say the arrested man appears linked to a series of related burglaries in Catonsville, Parkville and Baldwin with four specific blocks under probe and charging decisions are pending.
  • Baltimore County data show reported burglaries have fallen nearly 18% over three years, but officials and store owners say this case may prompt renewed focus on storefront security and patrol responses.
