Howard County police have charged six people, including two primary suspects, in a string of burglaries throughout the county that took place in February and March.
Police said tracking down some of the stolen items, which had been pawned, led them to 22-year-old Toray Lamar Ebb, of Columbia, and 25-year-old Joshuwa Wayne Collins, of Baltimore, who now face charges in one or more of six different burglary cases.
Ebb and Collins' arrest led to the identification of four other suspects, each of whom is accused of collaborating with one or both of the men on at least one of the burglaries, according to police.
The four others charged are Kimberly Anne Rook, 28, and Stephen Douglas Waltemeyer, 35, both of Linthicum Heights, Melissa Ann Ringley, 21, of Ellicott City and Jeffrey Sprague Dixon, 49, of Ellicott City.
The burglaries, according to police, include:
• 6400 block William Street, Elkridge, Feb. 12. A ground-level window was discovered broken. Several guns and televisions were stolen.
• All The Trimmings, Dayton, Feb. 15 and March 4. In both incidents, locks to several trailers were broken. Backpack blowers and landscaping tools were stolen.
• 7400 block of Hickory Log Circle, Columbia, March 22. The rear basement sliding glass door to the residence was broken and jewelry and electronics were stolen.

• 13800 block of Triadelphia Mill Road, Clarksville, March 2015, specific date unknown. Several guns were discovered missing from the home.
