WEATHERPROOF THIEVES STRIKE BETHESDA NEIGHBORHOOD DURING HURRICANE SANDY, 2 NARCOTICS ARRESTS AT BCC HIGH SCHOOL - BETHESDA CRIME REPORT

"NEITHER RAIN,
NOR SNOW,
NOR HAIL!"

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

Some guys just don't know when to quit.  While it's well known that inclement weather deters crime, one or more Bethesda thieves weren't so easily dissuaded Monday.  Even as Hurricane Sandy was beginning to hit Bethesda with winds and rain, he/she/they were on a mission in the Green Acres neighborhood - and it wasn't to find flashlights and batteries.

Three thefts were reported in the neighborhood Monday.  Two were in the 4600 block of Bayard Boulevard, and the third was in the 4700 block of Overbrook Road.

Theft-weary Green Acres has experienced many such crimes this year, particularly during its "Summer of Snatch," when it endured several theft and burglary waves.

Two other thefts on nearby Baltimore Avenue in the last week strongly indicate that thieves are targeting that area right now.  You know the drill:  lock car doors, and secure doors and windows in your home.  Report any suspicious vehicles or persons to the police.

Meanwhile, in downtown Bethesda, two narcotics arrests were made at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School on Thursday, October 25.  It is not yet known if those arrested were students enrolled at the school.
