Three 14-year-old males who live in Washington, D.C. have been arrested and charged by Montgomery County police after attempting to carjack a woman in the parking garage at Rockville Town Square on Monday, October 3, 2022 at 11:50 AM. The brazen daylight crime unfolded when a woman parked her 2019 RAV 4 in the garage off Maryland Avenue. As she walked away from her vehicle, three juvenile males wearing ski masks allegedly approached her.
One of the teens suddenly rushed toward her. He pushed the woman hard into a concrete pillar. After striking the pillar, she fell to the ground. He then stood over her, brandishing a black firearm, and demanded her car keys.
The female victim began screaming, and caught the attention of others in the garage. Those Good Samaritans rushed to help her, and the three ski-masked teens suddenly abandoned their plan and attempted to flee the scene. The bystanders chased after them, using their phones to capture images of the suspects. After being pursued to the intersection of E. Middle Lane and Helen Heneghan Way, the teens turned around and threatened the Good Samaritans with the firearm, causing them to back off.
A Rockville City police officer located the teens about 30 minutes later near the intersection of MD 355 and Gude Drive. When backup units arrived, all three were taken into custody without incident. In one of the suspects' bags, three ski masks and a black BB gun were allegedly found by officers.
All three boys were charged with attempted armed carjacking and first-degree assault. After referral to the Montgomery County Department of Juvenile Services, all three were released into the custody of their parents.
Hope these 3 get the maximum penalty.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat run cities deteriorating fast.
ReplyDeleteJerky troll making the the predictable canard.
DeleteAnd yet, Jerky Troll isn't wrong.
DeleteJerky Troll is more right that’s you’ll ever admit.
DeleteWhy not putting in jail? So they can learn the lesson.😡
ReplyDeleteThey are minors.
DeleteThey have jails for minors.
DeleteAssaulting a woman, threatening her life with a firearm, threatening other citizens, and then released to parent(s)? God help us.
ReplyDeleteWe have a little thing in this country called innocent until proven guilty.
DeleteThe article says that bystanders got pictures of the three criminals as they were running away. That should be proof.
DeleteInnocent until proved guilty doesn't mean they shouldn't be held in jail until a bail hearing for an alleged violent crime.
DeleteWhen is this country going to wake up!
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be happening more and more in MoCo
ReplyDeleteYea - release to the parents who seem to be doing a great job. Monday 11:50 am - school apparently not an options for these thugs
ReplyDelete…released.
ReplyDeleteThe County is in economic free fall along with a skyrocketing crime rate. The police are leaving in droves via resignation or retirement with no backfill. You can that Marc Elrich and those of his political bent for the societal experimental disaster zone that is today’s Moco. Bravo Marc!
ReplyDeleteThis is precisely what happens when there is no law and order. Wake up!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen seconds count, the police are minutes away. Yet some people wonder why so many people are applying for their CCL in Maryland?
ReplyDeleteteenagers should have been required to take a tour of the montgomery county jail
ReplyDeleteThe tour might help them lead a better life.
You call releasing them to their parents punishment? Obviously, their parents are doing a lousy job teaching them right from wrong!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately a lot of people still think education or fixing poverty can fix this. Truth is no - all that money they pour always goes to some corrupt politicians pocket. We need trained, educated and well paid and respected police officers everywhere so that thugs can be always scared and you need very tough punishment to teach people lessons. Jail is not option, its not punishment anymore. Time to pull all the people from jail and put them to do hard work that brings value to the community they caused damage to.
ReplyDeleteSo what you're saying is that we *haven't* actually tried fixing poverty and other causes of crime?
DeleteThe cause of this particular crime was to hurt the woman and take her car. Not a crime due to “poverty.” Stealing food, dealing drugs, etc… those are crimes of poverty.
DeleteYou conflate because you are a Lib and automatically take the criminals’ sides. So, I hope YOU experience everything for which you defend criminals—this is the only way we return to normalcy. Libs have to be schooled.
Just marked my mail-in ballot. The county democrats need to go. This is what happens when one party stays in power for too long. We need law and order.
ReplyDeleteSorry, you just wasted your time, this is Demo land, but thanks for the effort. If you're lucky and the officials get to do their job in time, you'll see results before Christmas. Otherwise, Dan wants your to wait until sometime in 2023.
DeleteWho deserves justice the criminal or the victim. This was a very desirable county to live in until we stopped enforcing the laws which denied law bidding the freedom to live.
ReplyDeleteReleased back their parents. *you mean their single mothers? What a joke! Their parents are likely the role models that taught them how to commit these crimes in the first place!
ReplyDeleteI had a no-knock warrant on me because I happen to own a firearm for protection and someone purposefully made a BS call (I think this is banned now). Someone tried to break into cars last night and stole a neighbors at 4:30 AM. I WILL protect myself and my property.
ReplyDeleteCarjackers and thieves in my area and yet they are focused on traffic violations...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Democrats!
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem with refunding police and release criminals
