CPW-NW Crime Alert: Break-in & Entering on 3700 block of Marlbrough Way

Dear Neighbors: 

We have received the following report of a break-in & entering that occurred yesterday – Wednesday, August 19, 2009:

<< I live on the 3700 block of Marlbrough Way in College Park Woods.  I would like to inform you that around anywhere between 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. a Dodge Durango was parked in my driveway and a couple, most likely two or three, hispanic males broke into my house.  They stole a ton of jewerly and were in the process of stealing a TV when my son (coming back from Starbucks) saw the car in the driveway.  Thinking that it was a friend of mine’s car and that they were helping me move in, my son parked outside the driveway and when the thieves saw him, they drove off in the Durango really FAST. 

I’ve reported the incident to the police.  I would just like the neighborhood know that incidents like these are starting occur very frequently in our neighborhood — my son has friends that say that their house has been robbed on Duke Street – and we need to put an end to it, immediately. >> 

Please be on the alert – take note of suspicious persons and vehicles, record their descriptions and license plate numbers, and report them to the police at 301-333-4000.  If you sense that they pose an immediate threat, call 911 and ask for the police.  After you make such reports to the police, notify us as soon as possible so that we can alert the neighborhood.
