A Baltimore County man was charged Thursday with robbing multiple homes in Howard County, according to police.

Angelo Walker, 25, of Owings Mills, is accused of breaking into homes on Ballymore Lane in Clarksville and Candlelight Drive in Dayton, using garage door openers found in unlocked vehicles to gain access to the residences.

According to a police report, Walker stole from more than 10 homes and cars. 10 of his alleged crimes occurred on Candlelight Drive, and five occurred on Ballymore Lane. 

One victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told WJZ the suspect broke into her Clarksville home around 2:30 a.m. on January 18 and stole money and a cell phone without making enough noise to alert the residents.

She said she was horrified after reviewing home surveillance footage that captured a man entering her home without waking anyone inside.

"I think it's happening in every neighborhood, unfortunately. These are crimes of opportunity, and we gave them the opportunity," the victim said.

Since the incident, the victims' family has installed an alarm and cameras at their home. 

Police said Walker, who was already incarcerated on unrelated charges, faces three counts of first, third, and fourth-degree burglary, and theft in the crime spree. 

Burglaries, car break-ins down in Howard County 

Howard County has seen a major reduction in burglary and breaking and entering incidents over the past year, according to data collected by the county. 

Between March 30, 2024, and the same date in 2025, the number of burglary offenses dropped from 461 to 114, which is a decrease of 75.3%.

A similar trend has been observed for car break-ins. In April, Howard County Police reported a 25% drop in car break-ins and thefts from vehicles so far this year.

"Occasionally, one person or a group of people will be active for a period of time and hit many vehicles -- which is why it may seem as though there's an increase," Howard County Police Public Information Officer Seth Hoffman said.
