2 assaults in 2 days at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda

Montgomery County police on patrol at the mall Saturday 

Montgomery County police responded to two reports of assaults last week at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. A 2nd-degree assault was reported at the retail center on November 25, 2025,  at 5:26 PM. Just over 24 hours later, an aggravated assault was reported at the property. That assault was related to a shoplifting incident. These were the eighth and ninth assaults reported at the mall this year. At this pace, Montgomery Mall is likely to have fewer assaults this year than last, when eleven were reported. 

Montgomery County police had a more visible presence at the mall this past weekend. Officers were wearing the new back patches that identify they are with the County police. These were demanded by the Montgomery County Council to distinguish them from ICE officere working in the County.

The woketopians, PC run amok crowd spent precious MCPD funds to change the ballistic vest patches to clearly identify officers of the county police as not ICE. We're at least sanctuary lite here. Notice one of the very few times Elrich made a statement on camera was in response to the President of the United States labeling our area as a sanctuary safe haven for illegals. Worthless. Another dumb and unnecessary use of funds.

Glad to hear it’s hopefully improved from last year. Does seem largely tied to shoplifters trying to escape being caught to me. Do we have any idea what percentage that may be of total assaults?
