A 2nd-degree assault reported at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda yesterday bumped the year's tally of assaults at the property past last year's total. Montgomery County police were summoned to the mall Tuesday afternoon at 2:33 PM, after someone was physically assaulted during a shoplifting incident. Yesterday's assault was the twelfth reported at the mall in 2025, officially surpassing 2024's total of eleven. Police have been more visibly patrolling the mall in recent months, working closely with mall security officers. But the permissive attitude of County elected officials regarding crime - including retail theft - has made it challenging, with a relentless parade of shoplifters ransacking stores countywide.

Why isn’t Chris Van Hollen or Wes Moore sending in more police to help US citizens? Are they too busy helping the illegals and taxing?
ReplyDeleteBecause the Democrats plan is to have the criminal and mentally ill element subdue any opposition to their their ( Democrats ) agenda.
DeleteMaybe you should send a letter to your buddy at 1600 PA Ave and have him send the wasted talent of the Guard to al malls. You MAGA's would feel so happy then.
DeletePresidential intervention and the National Guard are not required. Only very basic police work and a clear description of the perpetrators, thereby allowing law-abiding citizens the opportunity to defend themselves.
DeleteMy friend at PA Ave already knows about it, it's just that people like you are trying to stop him from locking up criminals and the mentally ill.
Delete@9:38 - I'll step aside just for you and your mental health.
DeleteLike Nicholas Maduro stepped aside?
DeleteNeed an honest breakdown of arrests by race and gender. The citizens need to know who is causing all this trouble.
ReplyDeletethere needs to be cameras on east and west portable
ReplyDeleteEast and west what Einstein.
