The following information was supplied by the Baltimore County Police Department. In cases where a criminal charge is noted, the information provided does not indicate a conviction.

Burglars climbed onto the roof of the Greenspring Shopping Center gas station last week, trying to get into the business. However, the two males were unsuccessful, according to a Baltimore County police report. At 1:30 a.m. Dec. 10, they used a wooden pallet to climb to high ground, and a wooden bench to get up to the roof, it states. They cut the phone lines and removed a white speaker system before trying to disable the deadbolt on the front door, according to the report. The suspects ran toward Sanzo Road.

PHOTO: Shell Station Pumping Gasoline after Renovations

The Shell station at Greenspring Shopping Center is open again.

New gasoline pumps are operating at the Shell Station on Smith Avenue in the Greenspring area. The station, which is the sole station in the neighborhood, is open again after about a month of renovations. It's located at 2859 Smith Ave., and also offers a service bay. The site also sports a new, digital sign. What do you think of the renovations at Shell, and how about those prices in the photo taken Friday?
