ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — Anne Arundel and Howard County Police have arrested a woman wanted for several home burglaries.
Last week we told you about a Catonsville homeowner who recognized the same suspect trying to break into her property.
On Monday investigators identified the alleged thief as Shannon Gough, 43.
She's accused of breaking into a pair of Ellicott City homes on Kerger Road and Blue Hill Court, just one week apart, on September 10 and 17.
Anne Arundel County Police suspect Gough's also responsible for a third burglary in her home town of Severna Park.
That one took place on September 17 as well, in the 100 block of Jennings Road.
Charging documents allege Gough took nearly $4,000 worth of electronics and jewelry between all three burglaries.
Each incident was captured on home security cameras.
Detectives were able to tie Gough to all three burglaries after receiving tips from ex co-workers who recognized her in police issued bulletins.
One informant told police that Gough was previously fired from her job for allegedly stealing medication.
Police also noticed Gough's Honda Civic at or near the scene of each burglary on surveillance footage.
Gough's piercings and tattoos were among other factors police used to identify her. She apparently wore the same clothing in both burglaries on September 17.
She now faces multiple counts of burglary, theft, and destruction of property in both Anne Arundel and Howard Counties.
