ANOTHER BURGLARY JUST OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN BETHESDA

A burglary in the 6600 block of Glenbrook Road on Wednesday, September 5, follows a series of break-ins in wealthy neighborhoods immediately outside downtown Bethesda.

The street - in between Little Falls Parkway and Bradley Boulevard - is just up the Parkway from Somerset, which has experienced 5 break-ins since the burglaries began in July.  Montgomery County Police have assigned special patrols in Somerset.  Glenbrook is a street of large McMansions, adjacent to Kenwood and Little Falls Stream Valley Park.

It's yet another reminder to lock doors and take note of suspicious vehicles parked or driving slowly through your neighborhood.  Invariably, these crimes are only committed after the burglars first case the neighborhood during the day.  So a tip you give police in the afternoon could stop a crime that night.

Good info, except Glennbrook is NOT McMansions, those are actually real mansions!

I guess it's the architectural style of some homes in the vicinity of the block in question that is contemporary McMansion more than "stately Wayne Manor" as far as design. But they are definitely big houses.
