Bethesda juveniles arrested, immediately released for convenience store robbery


Three Bethesda juveniles were arrested, but immediately released "to their primary caregivers," in relation to the October 22, 2024 strong-arm robbery of a downtown Bethesda convenience store. Montgomery County police allege that the three suspects entered the Tobacco & More Mart at 7809 Old Georgetown Road at 9:34 AM. They attempted to leave the store with shoplifted items, and were confronted by an employee. One of the three suspects, age 16, struck the employee in the head, and the alleged thieves fled on foot.

Officers were able to locate and identify the three suspects based upon their descriptions. They were arrested and charged with robbery, police say, but the press release did not indicate if the 16-year-old was also charged with assault.

Where are the damn parents? Too much social media rotting young brains. Too much time on violent video games rotting their brains. No rules, no boundries, no punishment, no consequences at all at least not from home or school. These are children. What the heck is going on?

Wonder if they are BCC students.

In this case they need to be convicted through trial, then sentenced, before being detained.

The elected leaders of this county
Make an assortment of jokers wild
The minute they they win an election
They rush in nooks & crannies to hide.

Not BCC Students like the past. Something has sure changed. We didn't steal tennis shoes off people's feet much less stores too.
