BETHESDA BURGLARS HIT SAME BLOCK TWICE SUNDAY

AUDACIOUS BREAKING-AND-ENTERING
RAMPAGE IN GREEN ACRES CONTINUES

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive!!!

According to SpotCrime, which obtains crime data from a Montgomery County Police feed, according to its CEO, the Bethesda Burglars struck twice on the same block Sunday.

The burglar(s) have returned to streets for a second time during this crime wave that began with a burglary on Westbard Avenue May 4.

But this is the first time they've pulled off two burglaries on the same street on the same date.  If all of the reports are accurate, the burglars are breaking in at will, apparently unafraid of being caught.

Sunday's break-ins were both in the 5300 block of Yorktown Road.  Not surprisingly, that's in the Green Acres neighborhood, where the majority of the burglaries have taken place.  You'd think that flooding Green Acres with undercover cops would bring this burglary rampage to an end fairly quickly.

It's difficult to speculate in any detail, when no details have been provided by the police department yet.  Maybe if we knew a simple fact like what time(s) of day the burglaries happen, it would shed more light on their m.o.

All there is to go on is the raw data from SpotCrime.

In any case, this would be the tenth burglary in Green Acres alone this month, if I'm counting correctly.

If these reports are accurate, the county really needs to take action on this.
