January 8th:

4600 block of 27th Street: Vehicle impound – 2 am. Officers received a call from a man who said that someone had stolen his vehicle and it was last seen in the Queens Manor apartment complex. Officers canvassed the area and located the vehicle which had been involved in a crash. The vehicle’s air bags had been deployed and there was front end damage. There was no evidence on the scene that the vehicle had been stolen. Since the complainant called from his home in Silver Spring, Montgomery County police went by his house to notify him that his vehicle had been recovered.
