New bank branch planned for Fox Hill senior living community in Bethesda

National Capital Bank of Washington plans to open a new branch in the Fox Hill senior living community at 8300 Burdette Road in Bethesda. NCB has only a few branches, and the closest one currently is in Friendship Heights, D.C. at 5228 44th Street, N.W.

While not having as many branches as some of the bigger names in banking, NCB touts itself as the "oldest bank in the District of Columbia." Several members of the bank's founding family are still on the Board of Directors today, as are representatives of Bethesda-based The Donohoe Companies and the Chevy Chase Land Company.

THIEVES TARGET BETHESDA NEIGHBORHOODS BETWEEN GOLDSBORO AND THE BELTWAY - BETHESDA CRIME REPORT

4 THEFTS IN

A WEEK

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

One or more thieves is/are targeting victims in neighborhoods along River Road between Goldsboro Road and I-495.  While the number of incidents (4 over 7 days) is not as high as some other theft sprees this year, the locations are close enough to suggest these folks are working that area regularly.

Play it safe, and lock those car doors.  Check if you have any valuables anywhere within the cabin that are visible through the windows.  If so, take them inside your home, or at least put them into the glove compartment or trunk.

Here are the locations where thefts have been reported in that area:

October 2:

Theft.  8300 block of Burdette Road.

October 5:

Theft from vehicle.  6200 block of Redwing Court.

October 7:

Theft.  Goldleaf Court.

Theft.  7600 block of Royal Dominion Drive.
