Baltimore County Police Arrest 64-Year-Old Suspect in Series of Burglary Cases Across Towson, Parkville, White Marsh

Baltimore County police have arrested 64-year-old Raymond Byrd in connection with a series of burglaries in the Towson, Parkville, and White Marsh areas that began in August 2025. Byrd is linked to at least six burglaries as part of a "CAT burglary trend," allegedly using a large prying tool to force entry into homes, often targeting rear entrances and elevated doors or windows. Authorities recovered about $17,200 worth of stolen property that Byrd had sold at pawn shops, with victims identifying the stolen items. After installing a GPS tracker on Byrd's vehicle, police located and arrested him at a hotel, where a search uncovered tools and stolen jewelry. Byrd faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges and is being held without bail as investigations and additional charges continue. The arrest has been seen as a significant step in halting this burglary pattern, providing relief to affected communities.
