you got to be kidding me. Are they locked up in jail? No. Why do they come to Md to commit their crimes. They know that if they are caught they do way less time than back home.

Welcome to Maryland - 2010-08-31 18:13:10
Their bond status doesn't surprise me... I read somewhere that the reason criminals come to Maryland to commit property crimes is because of the lenient approach from the courts if they get caught... Also, because Maryland has one of the, if not THE highest dollar value threshold for a misdemeanor theft to become a felony theft. You can keep slapping these guys on the wrist, but they won't feel it because of the callouses that have developed from all the wrist slapping over the years.

Good police work, BUT... - 2010-08-31 14:54:21
Well find in these cases that a lot of suspects have New York or (Washington) D.C. addresses, but when we go to follow up to locate them at these (addresses), they end up to be bogus.
Yet the four were released on bond? How does the county ever plan to find them if it already predicts that the suspects' addresses might be bogus? Especially given that the men are apparently from out of state, what would be their motivation to return to Maryland for trial?
