Homeowner Horrified By What Burglar Does in Refrigerator

A Laurel homeowner was surprised, and possibly revolted, to catch a teenage burglar reportedly masturbating into the refrigerator after eating from it during a break-in.

Anne Arundel County Police first began investigating a burglary in the 3400 block of Old Annapolis Road in Laurel on Oct. 5., when an electronic tablet was stolen. After the theft, the victim installed an interior camera system in the home to capture any other misdeeds.

On Nov. 7, another burglary was reported at the same home that was captured on the interior camera system that recorded the suspect inside of the home.

Police say the video showed that the teenage suspect entered the home, ate some of the resident’s food, and then masturbated into the refrigerator. The suspect left after stealing cash from the residence.

The suspect was identified as a 15-year-old boy who lives in the 200 block of Sweet Pine Drive in Laurel. Last week, a search warrant was served at the boy’s residence, where police say evidence recovered includes the clothing the suspect was wearing during the recorded burglary.

Police learned the stolen tablet from the first burglary had been sold to a neighbor, who was cooperative and gave the device to investigators for further analysis.

The 15-year-old was arrested and confessed to his involvement in the break-ins police say. He was placed in the Cheltenham Youth Facility pending an upcoming court appearance.

He is charged with

• 2 counts of first-degree burglary
• 2 counts of theft of less than $1,000
• Theft of less than $100
• Cause to ingest bodily fluid
