Police Report: September 24-26

September 24th:

2700 block of Upshur Street: At about 3:30 pm officers took a report of a residential burglary. The victim told the officers that when she returned home from work she found the front door to her apartment forced open. She went inside and found that several items of her personal property including electronics and jewelry had been stolen. At about 4 pm the resident in an adjacent apartment returned home to discover that his apartment was also forcibly entered and several personal electronics had also been stolen. Both apartments were processed for evidence with negative results, and no witnesses could be located.

3300 block of Chillum Road (7-11): At about 11:30 pm officers issued a man a criminal citation for possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage.

September 26th:

Taylor Street at 30th Street: At about 4 am officers on patrol observed an unoccupied red 2000 Jeep Cherokee (NC tag PTZ8467) that fit the description of a vehicle that was used in an earlier armed robbery of the McDonald’s restaurant on New Hampshire Avenue in Takoma Park. Further investigation confirmed that the Jeep was in fact the same one witnesses identified as driven from the scene by the two armed suspects. PGPD CID detectives responded to the scene and seized the vehicle for evidence.

Chauncey Place at Queenstown Drive: At about 8:15 pm officers took a report of a citizen robbery. The victim told the officers that he was approached by three black males roughly 16 to 18 years of age (NFD). He said that the three demanded that he give them his money, watch and jacket. He complied for fear the suspects had a gun although no weapon or other force was seen or used. After obtaining the victim’s property the three fled on foot towards the 7-11 on Chillum Road and disappeared behind the store. A search of the area for the three suspects proved negative.

Crime Prevention Tip: Car Alarms

I received this earlier today courtesy of CPL Jim Flynn of the Bladensburg Police Department: For those of you who have a vehicle that has a remote entry device, you may also have a handy burglar/emergency alarm that you probably don’t think about. Most of these remote entry devices have a panic button that activates your vehicle’s security alarm system. Test it. It will activate from almost anywhere inside your house and will keep honking and flashing the lights until either your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the remote entry fob.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
