Montgomery carjackings may be linked

Montgomery County police are investigating whether an attempted carjacking Tuesday in Silver Spring is related to two earlier ones in the county.

The latest incident occurred about 5:25 a.m. Tuesday. In a news release, Montgomery police said two men pulled a person out of a vehicle in the 8500 block of 16th Street in Silver Spring. Police said the victim reached back into the vehicle to retrieve a cellphone, and the two men ran to a dark gray Dodge Charger that was waiting nearby. They fled the scene, police said.

Police said the suspects in that incident might also be involved in a carjacking Monday in the 5300 block of Friendship Boulevard in Chevy Chase and an April 9 carjacking in the 7900 block of Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring. In those cases, the suspects got away with a white, 2004, four-door Infiniti FX35 with D.C. tag DJ3785, and a black, 2010, four-door Audi A4, with Maryland tag 6FW N44, police said. The Audi is a rental vehicle with the words “courtesy car” on the license plate bracket, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Robbery Section at 240-773-5100, police said.
