Md. police search for suspects who stole over $57,000 worth of cellphones

WASHINGTON — Montgomery County Police are searching for two suspects they say stole over $57,000 worth of cellphones from a store in Aspen Hill Wednesday morning.

Police say officers responded to the store, located at 13605 Connecticut Ave., around 9:30 a.m. for a burglary that had been discovered by an employee arriving to open the store.

Video surveillance captured the suspects enter the business’ rear door just after 6 a.m. Police say one suspect is seen prying open a safe, and both suspects can be seen stealing cellphones from the safe.

Police say they also stole cash from the business and are seen leaving the store at 6:25 a.m. (Note: Police say the time stamp shown on the surveillance video is incorrect).

The total value of the stolen cellphones is over $57,000.
