Over the holiday weekend, over a period spanning less than 48 hours, multiple Honda Civic automobiles were stolen around St. Mary’s County.

During the early morning hours of Friday, Dec. 26, two 17-year-old juveniles and Justine Antonie Parker, 19 of Great Mills, stole three Honda Civics from Maria Way, Great Mills Court and Buckshot Way, in Lexington Park. The suspects then drove to California where they attempted to steal four more vehicles, but were unsuccessful.  Three more attempts were made on Woodstown Way and one was made on Laurel Glenn Road. 

That same day, Parker was located by Hyattsville Police in one of the stolen Hondas. A second was located abandoned on Treetop Road in Lexington Park. Another, stolen in Prince George’s County, was recovered in the Callaway Shopping Center.

On Dec. 27, St. Mary’s Sheriff’s deputies observed the final stolen car traveling on Great Mills Road and initiated a vehicle pursuit, which ended on Maria Way, where one juvenile passenger was apprehended and the juvenile driver fled and later turned himself in at the Sheriff’s Office. 

Both Juveniles, a 17-year-old male from Bushwood and a 17-year-old male from Lexington Park, were charged by BCI detectives with four counts of motor vehicle theft and four counts of property destruction. Parker was charged with one count of motor vehicle theft. There are additional charges are pending.
