Montgomery County police have confirmed rumors that they had arrested two suspects in the repeated robberies of Geste Beer & Wine at 4801 Edgemoor Lane in downtown Bethesda last week. Detectives say they have determined that the two unnamed juveniles, age 14 and 15, were the robbers who held up the store on July 8, 9, and 10, 2025. They employed - or implied - possession of a firearm in the first two robberies, and reportedly escaped each time via the adjacent Bethesda Metro station's Red Line subway.
The suspects may have returned repeatedly because they not only faced no resistance or rapid police response, but also because the store only keeps a small amount of cash on hand each day. After the store was hit two days in a row, police were ready on Day 3. Officers with the 2nd District Central Business District Team were patrolling the area outside the store at 2:35 PM on July 10, when they noticed two juveniles who matched the descriptions of the robbers entering Geste Beer & Wine.
When the juveniles once again declared a robbery at the checkout counter, police ran into the store and arrested them. Both juveniles have been charged with one count of robbery, and two counts of armed robbery. They are being held at an unidentified "youth facility."

But it's "the children"!
Arrest the parents as well as these morons are a product of stupidity. Funny how you need to prove more to adopt a pet yet these idiots can raise criminals with only the supervision of the public school system.
