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.
Police believe that these two suspects may also be responsible for a similar burglary that occurred on Tuesday at a Sprint store in Beltsville.
