Police arrested a man early Thursday morning after residents of a Perry Hall neighborhood reported suspicious behavior, Baltimore County police said.
At about 1:44 a.m. on Jan. 17, in the 3900 block of Link Avenue, area residents called 911 after seeing a suspicious person. Police arrived and found a man looking into cars, according to Officer Mark Dorsey of the Parkville police precinct.
The man was unable to explain why he was in the area and police found several personal items, including multiple pairs of sunglasses, a camera and jewelry, in his backpack, Dorsey said.
Around that same time, a homeowner approached police to report that several items, matching the items in the man's backpack, were missing from a vehicle that had been parked in the homeowner's driveway, he said.
Police arrested and identified the man as 21-year-old Stephan Randolph Edwards of the unit block of Aven Way in Nottingham, Dorsey said.
Edwards was charged with fourth-degree burglary, rogue and vagabond and theft of less than $1,000, online court records show. He remained at the Baltimore County Detention Center into Thursday evening.
Dorsey praised residents for calling 911 and urged anyone who sees suspicious behavior to report it to police immediately.

He does have a job, and he works at night. He was working when he was arrested. Now, some judge who works during the day needs to put him away day and night...

I like the idea they use in the Middle East countries.
Thieves and pick-pockets get their hands cut off.
He would have had a hard time rooting thru the glove compartment using his "stubs".

Agreed. This article really has nothing to do with guns or black people. A white kid broke into my car about 6 months back and my neighbor (a black man) caught him. If this article says anything it's that we as citizens need to look out for each other. If you see someone suspicious, don't look the other way.

Exactly this ^^^^
An active, more social neighborhood will absolutely deter crime.

If you see something suspicious or a truck/person that seems 'out of place', simply take a picture with your phone and report it.

So glad to hear that the neighbors called in suspicious activity. We moved to PH from Middle River a few months ago. When we lived in MR, I had a coach purse and wallet stolen from our car the night before Christmas Eve. I happened to leave my car unlocked that night and the person/people ended up stealing things from a bunch of houses in our neighborhood.

Why do people leave valuable things in their car? That's kinda dumb.

Really ? So its our fault if somebody takes something that's not theirs ? I guess women shouldn't walk any where "unescorted " either, or its her fault if something terrible happens to her ?...Come on quit blaming the victims, and put some teeth in the punishment part of the criminal system. If these guys see that their actions are going to have some very undesirable outcomes they could think twice before committing a crime. You might need to make examples of a few, then the rest will straighten up. ( some what )
Seriously?

You mean the ones he specifically said he wouldn't mint a week or so ago?

The solution is real simple. If you do a crime you have to work free for the county. So if you steal 100 dollars worth of items then you have to do 100 hours of work. Let them clean county toilets, pick up garbage, clean graffiti, wash county cars,etc. This will be a great way to to create jobs and the tax payers do not have to pay for there work nor there time behind bars of free cable and food. They can cut there time in half if they repay for the damage caused to anyone. Perhaps this free work can show them that people actually do it for a living and they need to start respecting others.
Get a job then talk

O look another black male miles away from his own neighborhood...stealing... Now this story sounds so familiar on php. And I know I know, now I'm a racist pig blah blah. But honestly, isn't it embarrassing being an African American knowing that deep down inside you have people like this blood sucking Obamacarer with no job giving "ur people" a bad rap...instead of pulling the race card why don't you speak out to where it hits home. I catch someone stealing from me in my home I'm not waitin for police or askin them to freeze... glock 40 boom boom. Shoot first let the police ask questions later.
