Assault at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda
Montgomery County police responded to a report of a 2nd-degree assault at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda on March 19, 2026. The assault was reported at the mall at 5:00 PM Thursday. This is the third assault reported at the mall this year, with the first having taken place on January 10, and the second on January 26. The mall is now on-pace for 12 assaults this year at this rate, the same number that took place at the property in 2025.

Food Court in and out. Frank Pepe in and out. That's about it. Never in its history has the mall dealt with this. Ever.
ReplyDeleteMontgomery Mall was so safe in 1970-2000 Then the Obama people and illegals moved in - voting has consequences
ReplyDeleteThe Obama people?? What exactly do you mean?
DeleteFairly obvious he probably means black & blue.
DeleteThese Juveniles from PG county and DC are the issue, cancel the purple line and remove all of those out of Bethesda. Montgomery Mall is the only remaining safe mall.
