3 Men Charged in Lower Merion Burglaries

Township police arrested three Philadelphia residents they say were responsible for at least two burglaries in the area, according to police.

Lower Merion police arrested and charged three men this week in connection with a series of recent burglaries in the township, the department announced on Wednesday.

According to court documents, Clarence Sabre Glenn, 22, Eric Delmar Johnson, 37, and Tyrell Nasir Singleton, 22, all of Philadelphia, face multiple felony courts of burglary, receiving stolen property, trespassing, and other charges, with potentially more to come as police continue their investigation.

About 1:36 p.m. Monday, police said, a resident called about a suspicious vehicle on the 400 block of Warick Road. The car, a gold Mercury Marquis, had been implicated in previous burglaries in the township.

Police located the Marquis along with a second car, a gold Buick Regal. Based on the Mercury’s history, police took the driver into custody and established an area perimeter. Police say the responding officers also discovered a house had been burglarized on the same block. Later that day, officers were alerted to a second burglary on the 1200 block of Wyngate Road in Wynnewood.

As officers searched the area, several residents reported seeing men fleeing through yards. Police soon arrested two men—the second and third defendants, according to the department.

A subsequent search of the Marquis and the Regal turned up items that had been stolen from the Wyngate Road and Warick Road homes, police said.

According to court documents, Glenn, Johnson, and Singleton were charged and confined to Montgomery County Prison when they were unable to post $75,000 bail. All three men have preliminary hearings scheduled for June 25.

Police are not releasing photos of the men at this time, as the investigation is still ongoing.
