On December 19, 2018, Detective Wayne Wells, of the Calvert County County Sheriff’s Office, identified a 4 door black Saturn Vue with tinted windows and a Redskins sticker in the back window as a suspect vehicle in several thefts of packages at various residences around the county. The investigation also developed Inga Lee Savoy-Howes, 50, and Ashley Marie Howes, 32, as possible suspects.
Detective Wells was able to obtain a confession and responded to an address in Prince Frederick, where several pieces of stolen property was recovered. Both suspects have been charged with the thefts and the illegal drugs.
Sheriff Evans stated, “It was the quick response by not just one individual or unit, but the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office as a whole that resulted in this case closure.” He added, “Both civilian and sworn personnel involved should be commended for the actions during this investigation.” Citizens are urged to be vigilant for package thefts, especially around the holidays. Keep track of what packages you are expecting, and when you are expecting them. Above all, report anything and everything suspicious.
