I don't believe 2 makes a pattern, but having 2 break-ins in a few days that both involved the homeowner/resident getting cut/stabbed is a little troublesome.

Is there any indication that this could be related to the prior invasion in Bel Air? Scary turn of events in the past few days...

Second cutting in two days during the course of a burglary, could be the start of a violent crime wave.

There has been speculation that this was a drug deal incident

I know for a fact that my brother's home off 165 was broken into twice this past winter. Both times it was suspected to be punks on drugs looking for items to sell for cash to support their drug habbits. It's only going to get worse. Busted my brother's home up pretty good taking metal and other objects. Police had a pretty good idea who it was but did nothing. Let's just say justice will be served if they attempt again.

In late September/early October, two homes on Nelson Mill Road were robbed within days of each other. Both times, daytime invasions when nobody was home. Heirloom jewelry and electronics stolen. One home was actually off the main road on a long private lane. This recent incident is scary as bodily harm occurred. Neighbors need to be vigilant and watch out for each other.

The story has been updated, check out the latest details in the story above.

The kids in this county seem to have grown up w/ no morals. Probably cause mommy and daddy spoiled them . Spoiled kids hooked on drugs that don't get shit handed to them start making very bad decisions.

Major fail - Oh I think I'll rob this house - looks safe - oh no! - I'm cornered - it wasn't safe. - Now I have a knife in my stomach - Now I'm in a helicopter - darn - i should have stayed home.

The same type of incident happened off prospect mill road about 2 months ago and the home owner pulled a gun on the intruder while he was halfway into the house, the police didnt even fingerprint the scene or try to track with a k9.

John. Did you register just now to give that horrible reply?

1. I said county. Both areas you mention reside in this county. 2. Most of the counties young addicts come from decent middle class families. 3. Extension of 2. Most addicts in this area are Caucasian.

People need to stop speculating and saying " this used to be a nice area"
Economy is bad. Drugs are rampant. Crime. Is. Everywhere.

I already see you do not have much knowledge of the drug issues this county has.

And the area is nice. Just touching on the reason for increased more ballsy crimes as of late

Seems like home invasions are on the rise. Try the United States Security Company Directory for home protection.

Nobody singled out Jvill to begin with.

John... you're mistaken. I know of pretty decent amount of people from Jarrettsville who had issues with heroin, etc... and they were all white kids who lived there.

All bickering aside, that guy who got stabbed deserved what he got. I would have done the same.

Hey John

I'm a African American who lives in a predominately white community in Bel Air and most of the crimes here are committed from young white males...so are they considered underprivileged as well !

I focused on home invasion. The 2nd invasion. Sunday was bel air. Do I have to focus on the city on that news article?

You people crack me up. Jarrettsville, despite this happening, is still the nicest place to live in Harford county.

Agree

Home invasions and burglaries are on the rise and so people must take action to lower the chances of it happening to them. Three of the best things you can do to protect yourself and your property is to reinforce your doors and windows. 85% of burglars come through a door, so first off you should reinforce your entry doors with a door security device such as the Door Security Pro ( http://www.DoorSecurityPro.com ). 15% of burglars come through a window. I would highly suggest adding security window film to your windows. And finally, you need to get some type of personal protection device in case you are ever confronted by a burglar. Pepper spray is a good choice because it's easy to use and it's highly effective.

I will go back and revise my post since people clearly have a problem with how i presented it. Jarrettsville rarely has drug related problems. When compared to other to towns in the Harford County it is negligible. With this being said, just because people in your town or county have drug problems or are criminals does not mean everyone does. Harford County may or may not be the worst county with regards to drug problems but that does not define the people who live their. Just becasue i grew up in J-Ville or even Harford County does not make me and spoiled druggie who had everything handed to me. I personally worked for everything i own and i always have. That was the point i was trying to make. I will also say i agree with Take Responsibility! because Jarrettsville is a great place. This issue is such a big deal because it never happens in our town.

There is less crime in jarrettsville then Bel Air. Take a look at the police blotter. Regardless of that, crime can happen anywhere. The community where the first home invasion was considered safe too!

We just moved from bel air to jarrettsville and there is a bigger sense if community here than in Bel Air. Everyone is welcoming, a little bit smaller class size for my kids, going to the local stores vs the big box stores etc . Jarrettsville is considered the country with nothing to do! I'll take no traffic, larger properties and happy kids any day. It's how your kids are raised that will determine how they turn out. There are drugs in Fallston, Bel Air, Jarrettsville, Forest Hill and every other community.

Hey North County it is not an invasion when no one is home, it is called burgulary! I think they call Fallston High "Heroin High". How about all the spoiled kids taking their parents pills? Xanax, Percocet, Vicodin ect. Then we have Edgehood and Aberdump. Harford County is infested with drugs social status is not an issue. By the way most of the people that go to that "High priced rehab" (F.M) are not from Harford Co.

This should not happen in Jarretsville. That is why families move to this area, if not stay on route 40!

I grew up in Fallston/Harford County my entire life. This was unheard of when I was growing up. If you can't afford to live here you should not visit to cause trouble. There are plenty of areas where thugs can go to disturb the peace.

This is not the first issue at this house. The man, in his 20s (which lives with his parents, who's house this is) clearly has some major issues. No way this was random ..the location of the home is off the beaten path and the investigators at the scene seem to think they suspects knock on the sliding glass door and were let in. Since when do burglars knock? Lol. Get real people... its clearly a drug issue and the patents need to deal with their child because he is putting others in danger because of his poor choices.

There's crime everywhere it doesn't matter where you live anymore.. and it all falls back on the parents and how they raised their kids and the people they let their kids hang out with.. plain and simple

DO LIKE US SICILIANS........YOU HURT MY FAMILY COME INTO MY HOUSE.....NO HELICOTER COMING FOR YOU FRIEND.....DONE..CIAO
