On Wednesday, May 29, a suspect entered a residence on the 12500 block of Palantine Court in Potomac by entering an unlocked vehicle in front of the house and using a garage door opener to enter the garage, according to police reports. The suspect then entered the house through an unlocked door from the garage. Once inside, suspects stole a cell phone with cash and credit cards inside, according to police. One of the stolen credit cards was used at a nearby gas station hours after the burglary.
On July 3, police arrested one of the suspects — Warren Callahan III, 29, of the unit block of Big Acre Court in Gaithersburg — and charged him with two counts of burglary, two counts of theft over $500 and one count of fraudulently signing a credit card. Callahan, who is also a suspect of a burglary on June 17 of a residence on the 12700 block of Greenbriar Road in Potomac, is being held without bond in the Montgomery County Detention Center.
Investigators continue to determine the identity of another suspect. He is described to be a 20-year-old male, of Hispanic descent, approximately 5-foot-7 and weighing 140-155 pounds. He was wearing a white tank top shirt, baggy blue jeans and dark tennis shoes, according to police.
