Oh, no, not again! Montgomery County police responded to a report of a 2nd-degree assault at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda on Thursday afternoon, August 8, 2024. The assault was reported at 3:16 PM. Like some of the assaults at the mall in 2024, Thursday's was related to a shoplifting attempt. This was the ninth assault police have responded to at the mall this year.
There were 12 assaults reported at the popular retail center in 2022. That number dropped to 5 last year, after the Montgomery County Police Department opened a "resource room" at the mall, in response to the 2022 numbers. But the violence has rebounded this year, with the mall now on pace to more than triple last year's assault total.
