County Police Searching for Suspect in Commercial Burglaries

Montgomery County police are searching for a suspect in four recent commercial burglaries in downtown Silver Spring.

Police were called to 8720 Georgia Ave. on Sept. 15 following the report of a burglary discovered that morning by a worker who arrived to open the building. Police found four offices had been entered by force and had items stolen. 

Video surveillance reviewed by 3^rd District officers showed a suspect inside the building at 6:33 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14. That video has now been released by the department in hopes of learning the suspect’s identity.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about these burglaries should call the 3^rd District Investigative Section at 240.773.6870.

Tipsters also may contact Crime Solvers of Montgomery County online or toll-free at 1.866.411.TIPS (8477) to be eligible for a reward of up to $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest and/or indictment of the suspect. Tipsters will remain anonymous.
