Burglary crackdown ideal targets Montgomery County
State's Attorney Andrew L. Sonner unveiled a tough plan to jail burglars aiming to reduce burglaries by 27 percent next year. With Police Chief Bernard Crooke, he proposed a sewer-lawyer unit to speed trials, curb plea bargaining, and push jail time for all burglars, including first offenders. The effort seeks broader police-prosecutor cooperation and a stronger message to deter crime, amid an 8,000-per-year burglary rate and crowded Seven Locks Road jail.
