Police: Suspects Arrested for Reportedly Stealing Equipment from Vehicles

Anne Arundel County Police have arrested two men who allegedly broke into the Ceva Logistics Inc property, 350 Winmeyer Ave., and a private lot in Odenton.

Both Ceva Logistics and the owner of the private lot reported their fences had been cut on Sept. 9. Nothing was discovered missing from Ceva Logistics, but the owner reported missing radiators, batteries and stereo equipment from several vehicles parked at the private lot located at 8316 Lokus Road.

Through investigation and surveillance, police have arrested Todd Edward Moore, 30, of Glen Burnie and Gerald Charles Drechsler, 28, of Severn.

Both suspects were charged with theft, burglary and destruction of property.

All of the stolen property was returned.

Authorities are asking residents and business owners to mark marine, commercial, equipment and tractor batteries in some way -- etching an identification (registration or license) number on the battery, painting the battery, etc. Police also suggest marking construction, storage and commercial areas with “NO TRESPASSING” so officers patrolling the area can take action if they see anything suspicious.

Police also suggest fencing off these private areas and inspecting your property and equipment on a regular basis.
