Police: Be Vigilant During the Daylight Hours

A string of burglaries in the Overlea-Fullerton area have police asking the public to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

Homes in the Overlea-Fullerton area have been a target for burglars over the past month, according to Capt. Michael Balog of the White Marsh precinct.

Several homes in the area have been hit by burglars, including one home in the Linover neighborhood just last week. A week earlier, several homes in the Elmwood neighborhood were burglarized.

All of the burglaries have taken place during daylight hours when most people are at work, and kids are in school.
