Burglars and auto thieves started December off with a bang in the Massachusetts Avenue corridor of Bethesda. Four homes were burglarized, three others were the target of attempted burglaries, and at least four vehicles were stolen in that area between December 1 and December 4, 2024. Homes were burglarized in the 5700 block of Harwick Road, the 5300 block of Iroqouis Road, the 6000 block of Ramsgate Road, and the 5900 block of Massachusetts Avenue. Burglars attempted to break into homes in the 6100 block of Cromwell Drive, the 5900 block of Welborn Drive, and the 6300 block of Kenhowe Drive. Cars were stolen from the 5700 block of Harwick Road, the 5700 block of Ridgefield Road, the 6000 block of Ramsgate Road, and the 5900 block of Massachusetts Avenue.
One arrest was made in the last stolen car incident. An 18-year-old Bethesda man has been charged with felony 1st-degree burglary, felony theft, felony unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and rogue and vagabond. He has posted a $1500 bond, and has been released to await trial. Montgomery County police report that they have recovered all four stolen vehicles. Suspects in the other cases remain at large.

Trick or Treat! We ask for it all uear!
Criminals LOVE Mass Ave Bethesda. Big Money Houses in Quiet, Non-Descript Neighborhoods.
And the Bonus are the Quick Getaway Routes !!! What’s not to like……….
One of these incidents the victim may not be playing 'catch and release,' if I were the victim and got the upper hand, I might never even call the cops.
"Bethesda man"... originally or "moved here" attracted to our spree/sanctuary county?
The Purple Line will make this even easier, especially for the downtown condos and townhomes!
Meanwhile the MCPD is busy flying kites... I meant drones.
The snowflakes are in blizzard mode today. SMDH!
1,500 bond?? can't they make it $15,000 at least?
Our right to public safety is nothing compared to his right to do it again.
As one of the auto theft and burglary victim’s I want to commend the work of MoCo police. I don’t know all the details but I can confirm there was a lot of effort by many people that pulled the evidence together which enabled multiple arrests. All the police that I had contact with were very professional. Bad experience to be a victim of crime but good outcome.
