Essex Crime: Three Homes Burglarized in New Development

Three Essex homes under construction were burglarized between Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, according to Baltimore County Police reports.

The homes are located along the 900 block of Gladway Road in the Sheman’s Enclave community and owned by Ryan Homes, according to police reports.

One home had six interior/exterior light fixtures stolen, while another had 12 rolls of window flashing tape taken. A mini-refrigerator was taken from a construction trailer.
