Kyle Reddish Charged in 2 Abingdon Home Burglaries

The Abingdon teen was charged with two counts of first-degree burglary.

An 18-year-old Box Hill man faces burglary charges after officials said he entered two homes in Abingdon Thursday morning, including one through a pet door.

Kyle Burnett Reddish, 18, of the 200 block of Kensington Parkway, was charged with two counts of first-degree burglary, theft less than $1,000, theft less than $100 and rogue and vagabond.

In one of the burglaries, deputies responded to a home invasion reported in the 900 block of Hamburg Drive at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office.

The resident said he found his wife's purse dumped out on the sofa, a closet door opened and an undisclosed amount of cash missing after a barking dog woke up the household, the report stated.

As deputies were investigating the burglary, they received another call reporting a home invasion less than two miles away, the sheriff's office reported.

After the burglar alarm went off at a home in the 2900 block of Craigston Lane, the residents called 911 at 4:57 a.m., according a report from the sheriff's office.

A home security surveillance system showed a man wearing a light-colored puffy winter jacket and a baseball cap getting into the residents' unlocked vehicle and then walking into the back yard, where he entered the home using a pet door, according to the sheriff's office.

Nothing was stolen from the house, according to the report.

Investigators used still images from the footage to identify the suspect as Reddish, according to the sheriff's office.

The teen lived less than a quarter-mile from the home on Craigston Lane.

Reddish was charged Friday and released from police custody that day after the sheriff's office said he posted a $25,000 bond.

The former Patterson Mill football player was in the media after he was charged with rape in September 2011. The case was moved to juvenile court in August 2012, which blocked the public from following the proceedings and outcome of Reddish's trial.
