• Air Bag Theft Spree Targets Honda Vehicles in Glen Burnie, Odenton and Crofton (eyeonannapolis.net) — Crofton residents are being warned after a string of overnight air bag thefts from Honda vehicles in Glen Burnie, Odenton, and Crofton, with several incidents tied to local neighborhoods. Police urge drivers to park in well‑lit areas, lock vehicles, remove visible valuables, and consider extra security like steering‑wheel locks and cameras. Anyone with security footage or information is asked to contact county police.
• Celebrating National Nonprofit Day in Anne Arundel County (aacounty.org) — Crofton neighbors are part of a countywide salute to nonprofits on National Nonprofit Day, recognizing organizations that support residents from Brooklyn Park to Deale and Crofton to Annapolis. The piece notes that nonprofits employ a significant share of Maryland's workforce and recently received $2 million in county grants. It encourages locals to donate, volunteer, or advocate to strengthen these services.
• 50,000 eggs per female: why this Asian fish now worries wildlife officials (a-z-animals.com) — Crofton holds a unique place in environmental history as the site of the first confirmed U.S. sighting of the invasive northern snakehead fish back in 2002. This air‑breathing, land‑wriggling predator now threatens waterways across many states, prompting officials to urge anglers to kill and report any they catch. The story explains why they're so destructive and how to tell them from native fish.
