Montgomery County police responded to a report of an armed robbery at a downtown Bethesda store Tuesday afternoon, July 8, 2025. The robbery was reported at a store in the 4800 block of Edgemoor Lane at 4:47 PM. Police did not identify the business, but Geste Beer & Wine is located on that block. The store has been a target of gun-wielding robbers several times in the past.

No cash bail policies coming home to roost. Just get used to it and concentrate on calling police on important things like your neighbors violating the blower ban.
That's a block from the Metro station.
I've had the hair on my neck stand up a few times early in the morning when I absolutely could tell when a guy was 'up to no good,' looking around for opportunity. I'd be happy to volunteer a few days a month to be in, maybe, a bike patrol where we stay on top of these situations. I did a similar thing in Sacramento CA. When you ride around about a block from these guys for while and they notice you and get belligerent, you know you're being effective. It's really the only practical way of mitigating this opportunistic crime.
That’s what makes it so brazen.
A Shooter not afraid to strike in Daylight Hours and next to METRO !
So (even assuming your Spidey-sense is correct), if "up to no good" includes (as happened here) armed robbery--in which the weapon might well have been a gun--you think it'll be "effective" to have them notice you and "get belligerent"??
