Westminster Police need your help finding two teens who are suspected of stealing items from cars. 

Six unlocked cars had items stolen from inside in the unit block of Uniontown Road Sunday night and one car was stolen and later found abandoned in Baltimore City. 

Also, early Monday morning a man returned to his house on Rich Mar Court when he saw two teens inside of a car that belonged to a family member. When the man approached the teens they ran away through his backyard while pointing a gun at the car. No shots were fired. 

The suspects were described as two black men around 19-years-old, 5'10" tall with an average build. One of the men had tight curly black hair. 

A $500 reward is being offered for anyone who has information leading to the arrest and conviction offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. 

Police ask you to report any suspicious activities in this area, no matter how minor, particularly during the early morning hours. 

To prevent this from happening to you, police want to remind you to: 

  • Lock your vehicles and homes
  • Secure valuables out of sight and under lock and key
  • Utilize exterior lighting around their homes at night
