Howard man pleads guilty in break-ins
A 24-year-old Howard County man who stole women's underwear and sex toys during a series of break-ins pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree burglary Tuesday in Circuit Court. Brian Eui Hong of the 6000 block of Adcock Lane in Elkridge could receive up to eight years in prison for the break-ins at an Ellicott City apartment complex last fall. Hong was arrested last October after a surveillance video from a gas station where he used a credit card he had stolen from one of his victims showed him getting into a silver Spider sports car. Police traced the car to Hong's residence, where they found items and cash taken from the apartments in the Town & Country development. Among the items found in Hong's possession were a key belonging to a car stolen from one of the victims, credit cards, designer handbags and adult videos. In each of the cases, the victim reported that women's underwear had been taken.
