Rockville City police have received several reports of a rabid raccoon roaming the area around the Hungerford and Stoneridge neighborhoods, along Mount Vernon Place. They advise residents not approach or attempt to capture the animal. Keep pets and children indoors in that area, especially if not directly supervised by an adult, and ensure pets are up to date on rabies vaccinations. If you see the raccoon or other suspicious wildlife activity, you are asked to call police at 240-314-8900. An Animal Services Unit will be dispatched to respond.
