Police substation to close this month

A police substation in a Hillendale shopping plaza will close at the end of the month, but county officials say they are searching for a new location for the service.

The substation has been at the Hillendale Center since 1998. Towson-precinct officers who specialize in community outreach, state parole and probation officers, and neighborhood groups use the substation, said Bill Toohey, a county police spokesman.

The lease expires May 31 and the owners of the shopping center do not want to renew it, according to county officials. If a new location in the area is not found by June 1, the substation will temporarily relocate to Loch Raven Elementary School, officials say.
