A Baltimore man was arrested and charged with burglary after police say he entered a town home and stole a piece of jewelry.

Jonathan Colvin, 49, of the 700 block of Falls Way in Baltimore, is charged with first- and fourth-degree burglary and theft of an item worth between $100 and $1,500, police said. He is currently being held without bail in Baltimore County and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 18.

Colvin entered a house in the 6000 block of Falls Road through a rear window around 6 p.m. Sept. 22 and stole jewelry from an upstairs closet, according to a police report. A witness entered the home while Colvin was inside and saw him wearing a bright safety vest, police said. Colvin told the witness that someone had “let him in” the building, and then he fled on foot, police said.

A police officer on routine patrol saw someone matching Colvin’s description walking on Falls Road near the Baltimore City line, police spokeswoman Natalie Litofsky said. Colvin was found with a bright safety vest in a bag he was carrying and with the missing jewelry in his pocket, Litofsky said.

Police did not specify what the jewelry item was; it was returned to its owner. Police said it was valued at around $300.
