Police investigate explosives possession at Bethesda gas station
Montgomery County police were called to a gas station in downtown Bethesda Friday night, October 17, 2025 to investigate a report of explosives possession. The incident was reported to police in the 5000 block of Bradley Boulevard at 9:23 PM Friday. That is the Bradley Liberty gas station at 5001 Bradley Boulevard at the Bradley Shopping Center.

Thanks for reporting and identifying at which gas station this occurred.
ReplyDeleteI actually had that one on my bingo card!
ReplyDeleteWere they planning to use the explosives?
ReplyDeleteHit me easy, I'm full of gas!
DeleteTryin' to take out the Crescent Trail above it too?
ReplyDeletePossibly the gates at the adjacent Parkway.
DeleteIt was a group of teens doing really dumb things. Parents need to teach kids pranks and explosives don’t go well together.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, most of the parents in this area don't even raise their children. On the other, play stupid games, win stupid prizes is a lesson that some kids need to learn by example. This is assuming that it was kids...
Delete100%
Delete@12:45 Progressive parents raise idiot liberal kids who have never been told no.
DeleteCan't even put air in yer' tires without having to worry about getting blown to smithereens.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to pay for air at this location?
DeleteFree but bring your own tire gauge!
