From the Bel Air Police Department:
The Bel Air Police Department is investigating a theft of power tools from the Bel Air Home Depot that occurred on Monday, August 28, 2017 at approximately 1600 hours.
The suspects are described as a black male, wearing a baseball hat, Puma white t-shirt, black pants and black sneakers. The second suspect is a black female, weaing her hair up in a pont tail, gray shirt and dark colored pants.
If you have any information as to the identity of these two suspects, please contact Det. Alex Maro at 410-638-4524 or amaro@belairmd.org.
How can you just walk out with two arms full of tools. Every time I go there, there is someone standing by the door. NICE security. Maybe they are headed to Texas to help with the rebuilding
Obviously Home Depot employees are not paying attention or this is one of those occasions that someone on the inside is cooperating with the thieves.
Home Depot’s corporate policy is to not intervene with criminal acts. One of their employees back in May followed a kidnapping suspect into the parking lot and was instrumental in keeping the responding police appraised of the situation and enabled the suspect to be located and the child returned to their mother. He was tied up all of 10 minutes helping this woman and got fired for doing so.
So, if Home Depot does not care about the safety of their customers, do you really think they care at all about some thugs rolling out the front door with some tools they got via five finger discount?
“So, if Home Depot does not care about the safety of their customers, do you really think they care at all about some thugs rolling out the front door with some tools they got via five finger discount?”
Obviously they care, that’s why the theft was reported and why we have video of those committing the five finger discount.
The theft of tools hurts their bottom line. A kidnapper, not so much…he is a paying customer.
It’s pretty simple. Call up the corporate office and ask what the loss prevention policy is. How hard is that?
To help you even more if you’re that inept, some retail companies will have their loss prevention staff chase and (if) detain the person (s), and others will just be a “observe and report.”
I’ve had several personal friends work part time jobs in various loss prevention rolls. It’s a high turnover rate, odd working hours, and it’s not a career.
You understand that there a long line of people willing to work for a little extra money with the possibility of being severely injured over property theft that isn’t theirs, along with very minimal liability for any “mistakes” they could make in the course of their job. Let’s not even get into what happens if someone gets injured, I think I’m going to need an extra roll of tinfoil for that one.
That there isn’t a long line, that is.
I used to work at HD in loss prevention, and this is normal occurrence.
I think that HD dropped their external LP at all their stores. There was too many lawsuits, and on paper, it looked like LP was too costly for what was being prevented. I am pretty sure they only do internal LP, which is much easier to prosecute.
Bel Air didn’t even have a LP associate there the whole time I worked there. Edgewood and Aberdeen didn’t either. Regular employees, including managers are not allowed to detain people, so this kind of stuff happened all the time.
When I worked there the only LP manager in the district worked at the Towson HD, and she was horrible. You couldn’t ever get a hold of her. Her boss, the district LP manager was worse and she would not cooperate with local law enforcement, so when scum like this was caught, many times they would not be prosecuted and they were set free.
I’m shocked they were allowed to cross Route 40 and head into Bel Air….I demand road blocks on 152 and 24 to check wic voucher id’s or canceled social security checks. It would have been easy to spot them…they had the gold thug honda accord with purple LED’s underneath and the constant BOOMING of the base sound from the back window…..wake up WHITE BEL AIR RESIDENTS!!!!!!
Can’t you read or comprehend? It happened at the Bel Air HD not Ehood. I demand road blocks on Tollgate Rd. Route 1 and Main Street. Look for the pimp car with “I’m with Her” and Clinton-Kaine stickers.
Can’t you read he said they crossed er 40 into bel air… insinuating they’re from Edgehood. So dumb
Rt*
So you just ASSume all thieves live in Ehood? Look around dude, they are everywhere. SMH
Wait….(Looking from my front yard)….just as I thought…no THUGS living around me. Ehood is the place to live for those…(and now Aberdeen)…just read the news.
