Robbers raid trendy Silver Spring streetwear store; Do you recognize them?
SILVER SPRING, Md. - A popular streetwear and sneaker store in Silver Spring was burglarized three times in less than two weeks last month.
Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department are now investigating the crimes and reaching out to the public for help identifying the crooks.
On Thursday, the department released surveillance video from inside the store Home Court, showing what appears to be several young boys grabbing t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets off the racks and leaving.
In one video, the suspects can be seen kicking through a side window to break into the shop. The cameras also caught the getaway vehicles police believe were used on Sept. 19, Sept. 25, and Sept. 30.
Home Court's owner Richard Bird told FOX 5 that it’s been a very unfortunate and trying time for his business.
"We also understand that It’s a tough time for the economy and our communities," he said. "We recognize in times of economic downturn, that these issues tend to arise. We have taken measures to further secure our building and our staff. We will continue to be the cornerstone that we have grown to become over the past six years. We’ll continue to provide a platform for up-and-coming entrepreneurs and creators via our monthly street markets."
"We love our community in its entirety and look forward to moving forward," Bird added.
The value of the merchandise that was stolen has not been revealed.
Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding the suspects or the burglaries to contact them.
