City cops bust alleged twin burglars

Baltimore police have arrested 18-year-old twin brothers in connection with a series of burglaries in six houses in the Southeastern District and seized stolen flat-screen television sets, radios, video game players and DVD players, authorities said on Tuesday.

Ronald (far left) and Ronnie Sinkler, of the first block of North Clinton St., were each charged with more than 50 counts of burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, theft and destruction of property and are being held without bail at the detention center pending a hearing scheduled for April.

Few details were immediately available, including the locations of the burglaries. Police said they raided the twins’ house and discovered “an enormous amount of stolen property” and that fingerprints from the house matches fingerprints taken at “one of the many houses that were burglarized.”

Among the stolen tems recovered, according to police, were two X-Box games, several DVD players, a golf bag, a 42-inch flat-screen TV, a video camera, an alarm clock and a laptop computer.

Here is a list of what police seized:

who the hell's house did they live in , lock up whatever parent(s) these thugs have also

These burglaries may have been prevented if the landlord of 24 N Clinton St (Harbor House Builders) had taken me seriously when I had called them about Ronnie Sinkler's arrest in July 2009 for CDS manufacturing when he lived in another house of theirs on N Curley St. They denied that he was a tenant of theirs at the time. Not only did they lie to me at the time, but they just moved him to another house. Way to go Harbor House!

I hope they realize that they just screwed the rest of their lives up for "stuff"...Things that will be obsolete in a year or so...Just stupid! Their parents must be very proud of their contribution to society!


Maybe they are angry about being named "Ronald" and "Ronnie".

I live in this neighborhood and was robbed of an item on this list. Do you know of someone to get in touch with about retrieval of stolen items or the process?

I have a feeling their parents aren't really around enough to care or be "proud" of them. That's the problem. I mean, they are twins named Ronald and Ronnie for crying out loud. I think a strong family unit is probably not what they've got around them.

A few things:

Who still uses VCRs?

Why would they steal an alarm clock? So they can wake up on time to steal something from somebody else?

Who's going to come forward and claim their missing ziplock bag of green plantlike substance?

My vegetable garden was stripped of some plants. I think they took them (green plantlike substance) and would like to know how to retrieve them. :-)

I wonder why the sun have not posted the mugshots of the six people involved in the death of the gas station owner.

Haven't been able to get them from county police. Still trying. You think we wanted to run a grainy image taken from TV? -Justin

People should refrain from making comments about parents who have children that are criminals. Just because somene lives in a certain area does not mean that they have no parental supervision or that they'll end up where these two are.

I wonder which of the two were the "brains" of the operation, lol.

WHY ARE PARENTS AFRAID OF THERE KIDS, IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HAVE PLACED STOLEN ITEMS IN MY DAD & MOM'S HOUSE. STUPID & NON-CARING PARENTS, THEY NEVER THOUGHT THAT A POSSIBILITY EXIST THAT THEIR KIDS COULD BE KILLED

You got it all mixed-up. The one in green is Ronnie and the one in black is Ronald.

damn yo the go to my school

Aayyyyyyy...

I'm just glad to know Henry Winkler had kids, no matter what he named them.

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore.
