Masked men casing vehicles in Massachusetts Avenue corridor of Bethesda


A group of men wearing masks has been seen testing door handles on vehicles in neighborhoods along Massachusetts Avenue in Bethesda, according to Montgomery County police. At least one theft has been reported, in the 5300 block of Albemarle Street in Westmoreland Hills. Two of the masked suspects were observed entering a vehicle there, and removing items from the interior. Be sure to lock your vehicle and remove any visible items from the interior.

Happens weekly in Battery Park. Catch them on security cameras checking car doors. Probably a good thing that neighbors don't own Chargers or Challengers as there would be a plague of carjackings and thefts.

And all of them do not live anywhere near there. Get ready for the PL.

There's nothing illegal about pulling on door handles, the popo will tell you, but it really does satisfy the elements of Criminal Assault, imho.
