Two thieves targeted vehicles in neighborhoods along Massachusetts Avenue in Bethesda during broad daylight on December 3, 2025, Montgomery County police report. They were successful in obtaining stolen property and cash from inside of unlocked vehicles on Massachusetts Avenue itself, on Wapakoneta Road in Mohican Hills, and on Falmouth Road in Spring Hill. The thefts took place between 9:00 AM and 12:46 PM.
Police describe one suspect only as a Black male of unknown age, and have no physical description of the second suspect. If you have any information that could assist detectives in closing this case, call police at (301) 279-8000.

Daily occurrence in Greenwich Village, Battery Park and Edgemoor. Our catch people looking and checking car doors several time a week between 2-4am. Can't wait for the Purple Line.
Just a quibble, but I think Wapakoneta is in Glen Echo Heights not Mohican Hills.
Just thinking that, as the year draws to a close, Bethesda seems still to be a relatively safe community. Yes, since January, this blog has reported a number of crimes, some of violence; and, of course, even a little crime is too much crime; but on the whole I think we have a lot to be thankful for. Including the MoCoPD, whom I don't think always get the respect they deserve.
6:46, rhetorically, what do we do to maintain this relatively lower crime status? Are we doing it or are we just slowly sliding down into the PGC/DC crime quagmire? Is becoming more like SS predestined? Will "North Bethesda" become the new 'go to' place?
This is obviously just kids doing what they do, keep your doors locked and no problem.
Yes, I can't wait for the Purple Line as well! It will increase transit opportunities to access jobs, educational opportunities and more affordable housing. Countless studies have proven that adding transit does not increase crime, but improves opportunities for those who can't afford a car, or are unwilling or unable to drive. Idiots that leave their cars unlocked deserve to be burgled.
Here comes 9:27, Elrich's uninformed mouthpiece, who can't factually justify the PL except to read off light-rail talking points that have never come to fruition in ANY project in this country. Where will you be when this 10-BILLION dollar fails to meet ridership and crime spikes? No where to be found as liberals never take responsibility for anything they do.
@9:27 AM What studies? Who funded them?
"Access Jobs, Educational Opportunities and Affordable Housing?"
What have you been drinking?
I have previously posted several links to multiple studies that clearly indicate that adding transit does not increase crime. In fact it has a net benefit to improve the community. Yes it’s terribly expensive, messy, disruptive and takes way too long to build, but worth the effort. Of course Nimbies will never accept these studies as valid.
OR put the "kids" in juvie where Bubba will teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.
What do you mean becoming more like SS? It has already become :

814 can bloviate about doctored studies when actual data shows the opposite. How about being a good steward of taxpayer dollars but that is a bridge too far for your council masters. Did your crime stats change when you stopped prosecuting shoplifters? The answer is yes because democrats reclassified crimes so the stats would fit their narrative. The outgoing DC police chief just got caught because DC is a federal city but the progressive autonomy in MD protects the corrupt.
This council is so dishonest regarding lane diets, crime and transit, anyone with a conscience couldn't sleep at night but I'll bet you sleep just fine
Somehow I believe that most of you who oppose the Purple Line have rarely if ever ridden on the Metro, taken a Metro Bus, ridden on MARC or VRE, ridden on the Bethesda Circulator, rented a Capital Bikeshare, utilized an Uber or Lyft or ZipCar. I suspect you are most comfortable in your private car, driving between your home garage and your secure work garage, mostly utilizing drive through restaurants, banks and pharmacies to avoid any contact with just about anyone else. Please tell me I am wrong. Yes the PL will mean folks can soon work in Bethesda and live in a cheaper area, easily commute to UMD. Folks around the region will have vastly better access to good paying jobs in Bethesda and along the Red Line without a long trip to DC and back. It really is that simple.
More like the State of Maryland will someday just be a big Prince George's County! Look what we have to look forward to! Moore and Alsobrooks are doing their level best to help us out.
@5:43 You are so wrong as the lack of basic understanding while ignoring actual data and demographics is exactly what this council does. Let's spend 10 billion dollars for a rail project that will actually serve very few and could have been accomplished with a couple of extra J2 busses. But no, liberals love a light-rail vanity project touting glorified benefits that never come true but ignore past failures because "it will work this time". Another truly pathetic social engineering project that only exists to serve your tax spending ego.
