BETHESDA CROOKS GO HOG WILD IN THE HILLS!

If the last 7 weeks are any indication, it's going to be a long, hot summer of crime in the suburbs of Bethesda.

On Wednesday, thieves and burglars returned to the same neighborhoods yet again in Bethesda.

Before hitting the road again, they racked up 6 thefts and 2 burglaries.

Many of their favorite streets got a return visit.

Neighborhoods hit were Westmoreland Hills (just days after another spree), Spring Hill, Mohican Hills and Green Acres, where the crime wave first erupted in May.

Hog wild in The Hills!
