From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
(August 5, 2014, Street, MD) – Detectives continue to vigorously pursue leads developed during the initial investigation of yesterday morning’s Homicide/Home Invasion in the 1200 block of Trappe Road in Street Maryland.
New details have emerged and which indicate robbery was the motive behind this event.
Interviews conducted by detectives indicate there were three individuals involved in the events inside the residence. These individuals are described as three African American males, who had their faces partially covered and were wearing various non-descript clothing. At least two of these males were armed with handguns. During the confrontation one of the males struck a family member in the head (medical attention refused) while demanding money.
There was an apparent struggle between the suspects and Thomas Anderson. It was during this struggle that Thomas Anderson was shot in the upper torso, and died at the scene. The suspects fled the location in an unknown direction with a small amount of U.S. currency.
This is an active on-going investigation and detectives are seeking additional information. Anyone having information is asked to contact either the Sheriff’s Office Northern Precinct at 410-692-7880 or online or via text using the following:

What part of Africa? Were they Egyptian?
MM says
You know when HCSO is working a significant case like this they will not give out pertinent information like that. Probably, they were legal immigrants from Gabon who just needed money. My friend thinks I’m crazy. She says they are from that part which is just south of Rt 24 and just east of Rt40, but I still think they could be from Gabon.

H,
Three hoods! Remember, the state outlawed the purchase of anything over a 10 round handgun magazine because they felt they had to do something, don’t-cha-know! I guess there is going to be a rush on ‘gun free zone’ signs up in the Street area to prevent further armed break-ins. And, I think there is a Bane organized candlelight vigil this weekend to raise awareness of gun violence.
Perhaps D-James can introduce something in the upcoming legislature to reduce handgun purchases to one in a lifetime. And there will be a limit on ammo purchases to one round, with a one thousand percent tax – and you must return the casing before purchasing another.
That all will help.
Kharn says
Why go through all that trouble? Just revoke the handgun carry permits of the offenders, then they won’t be able to take their guns anywhere.
Cody G Smith says
Lol, do you really want to drive the sale of handguns and ammo more underground and black market where only criminals etc will have access to them? Law abiding citizens have the right to purchase and bear arms. Btw, I’ve never had a gun charge or violent crime and I am an ex con so I don’t have that right and therefore doesn’t apply to me or help me in any way, but that was my past and I accept that and ok with the consequences. Doing good today and that’s all that matters but I’m just saying.

Let’s call them what they are, Canadians
Magik says
They weren’t smart Africans. If you’re going to go off the beaten path to rob someone, you probably DON”T want to pick a mobile home.
Unless they knew him already.
Anonymous says
These vermin sound like PERFECT candidates for the death penalty. Oh, wait, we don’t have that any more.
Thanks politicians.

Instead of going out to rob and victimize others, how about …get an education and then a job and work for what you want. I guess that would be too hard. I hope these three are apprehended and dealt with appropriately in our justice system.
MM says
Agree. Dealt with appropriately. Like in a shootout with police in which all three of them get blown away.
Miss Gulch says
Good idea…would save those of us who pay taxes the money to house, cloth, feed and educate them as well as pay for excellent healthcare. What scumbags. Hope everyone out there stays safe.

Someone got into my garage, then tried to get into my home about 10 days ago. It was right after some guys in a van from Capital Meats were going door to door selling meat from their van. Do not open the door if they come into your neighborhood. I think they were casing the neighborhood vs selling steaks.
Tell it like it is says
Harford County, particularly Northern Harford County, is a pretty safe and nice place to live. The Sheriff’s Office does a pretty good job. Before we start panicing about an organized group of “hood rats” indiscriminately invading homes in northern Harford County stop and take a breath. As I posted before, everytyhing happens for a reason. You live by the sword (drugs) ,you die by the sword (drugs). It is just that simple. If anyone thinks that this was a random robbery they are wrong. Statistically, in all most all cases the bad guys target a residence in a home invasion because they know what they are going after. They generally have prior knowledge of what they are looking for and who owns it. You do the math as to how they figure this out.

When are they going to do something about those Amish gangs?
A get-a-way buggy is pretty stealthy, and they are dressed in dark clothing.
But, we must not stereotype.
Cody G Smith says
Ditto!
HYDESMANN says
Maybe O Malley can start loaning out his armed bodyguards since his main goal and that of the rest of the Dems is to leave the rest of us defenseless. The thugs were African American so please tell us what the victims were ( German Americans, Irish Americans, Polish Americans, etc).
Colonal Angus says
You can rely on the karma and the police, I will rely on my 45 ACP.
HYDESMANN says
These poor guys will be sentenced to a hard life of unlimited basketball, unlimited gym privileges, free health care, free Internet, 3 meals a day and a warm dry place to sleep. 20 yrs in jail with all but 5 months suspended. The horror of it.
MUFFMOUTHSKI says
My guess is they will get 5 years max and they will be out in 3 with good behavior.
We need the death penalty reinstated. I suggest keeping a loaded gun at your bedside, on the ready for these criminals. If the State won’t execute them……… you know the rest.
