Montgomery County police responded to a report of a 2nd-degree assault at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda Monday night, July 1, 2024. The assault was reported at the mall at 8:40 PM Monday.
This is the eighth assault reported at the popular retail center this year, as violent crime at the mall continues to outpace the totals of last year. The property had managed to go assault-free since April 14 - until Monday.
By contrast, only five assaults were reported at the mall in all of 2023. Montgomery Mall is currently on pace to triple last year's total.
Several of this year's assaults have taken place as shoplifters attempted to flee the mall with stolen merchandise, including one on March 5 that came to light last month when Montgomery County police released a photo of the suspect whom they alleged assaulted a Macy's employee.
Welcome to Mugtgomery County!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm starting to feel that way as well.
DeleteDecided no to go there. Needs more effective police surveillance
DeleteDiscussed to see what people get away with. We need more police involvement.
ReplyDeleteWhy bother, nothing happens to them when their caught. Thanks to Erlick!
ReplyDeleteThe credit is shared with random justice John!
DeleteThat is a ridiculous lie fed to you by the fascist right. Do you think Erlich hangs out at the police stations and courthouse and decides what charges to being, what cases to take to trial and what sentences to hand out? You're too stupid for words.
DeleteThis is what the councils reimagine the police has done, just emboldened criminals to commit more crimes.
ReplyDeleteToo bad MC isn’t as safe as it use to be
ReplyDeleteI live in Wheaton, and it takes me the SAME amount of time to drive to Columbia Mall vs. Montgomery Mall ........so "F" driving to a place like Bethesda's Montgomery Mall ! ......... Wake Up, People !!!
