BETHESDA / NW DC
CRIME WAVE UPDATE

Ski Mask Gang Continues to
Elude Capture after Winter
Crime Spree

Another week has passed without developments in the case of the 3 masked, armed robbers who struck in Friendship Heights, Northwest Washington, and the Westbard area during January and February.

As you recall, last week there was a report of two armed robbers near the Van Ness Metro in NW.

There are no related crimes in this week's Montgomery County Police crime report.

So once again, we turn to the unofficial SpotCrime report:

Assault, 6900 block of Arlington Road at Bradley Blvd., 3/29/12

Assault, 4900 block of Newport Ave. at Massachusetts Ave., 3/30/12

Assault, 3700 block of East West Highway at Cypress Pl., 3/30/12

Theft, 5300 block of Westbard Ave., 4/2/12
*I'm not typically listing thefts as related to the Ski Mask Gang, but given the crime spike in the Westbard area, I'm listing any serious crimes in that location

Assault, 4200 block of Massachusetts Ave. NW, 4/2/12

Robbery, 5000 block of Wisconsin Ave. NW, 3/29/12

Nothing here fits the description of the masked trio.

Westwood Shopping Center Update: Capital Properties kept large sections of the parking lot pitch dark for another week, as of last night. The company remains aloof regarding safety concerns of patrons crossing the darkened lot from Park Bethesda and Westbard Mews to reach the Giant and Rite Aid.
