ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — Police have arrested a woman wanted for several home burglaries.
Last week we told you about a Catonsville homeowner that recognized the same suspect trying to break into her property.
On Monday police 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 hometown of Severna Park.
That one took place on September 17 as well, in the 100 block of Jennings Road.
All three incidents appear to be captured on home security cameras.
Charging documents allege Gough took nearly $4,000 worth of electronics and jewelry in total.
"We were very curious to learn more about who this person was, why us?" asked Kristen Umphlet, who's home was broken into. "Why both us and Ellicott City, and possibly other counties as well, we're all very far apart."
Umphlet said her grandmother's necklace and her husband's wedding band were stolen, both of which have sentimental value.
"Sometimes people look at these as property crimes but this is a lot more than just that," said Anne Arundel County Police spokesperson, Justin Mulcahy. "We talk about home being where somebody wants to feel safe and secure and have peace of mind in their residence, that can be disrupted obviously and there could be some residual impact."

Investigators ultimately tied Gough to the burglaries thanks to 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 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.
"This was good police work, good work by the public and we held somebody accountable," HCPD public information officer Seth Hoffman said.
On Monday afternoon, Gough waived her right to a bail review and actually requested to remain jailed. A judge obliged.
Meanwhile, police confirmed they executed a search warrant which turned up "items of evidentiary value," although no specifics were revealed.
Detectives in Baltimore and Queen Anne's Counties are also looking into whether Gough is linked to other burglaries in their jurisdictions.
There is no word yet where those investigations stand.
