The United States Park Police are searching for Alexander Shamuilov, 34, who is suspected to have broken into as many as 19 vehicles around Great Falls, Carderock, and Widewater in Potomac. Per Park Police: “Through the investigation of CC 22-035175, a theft from auto that occurred at Carderock Park on 4/19/22 SHAMUILOV has been developed as a suspect. In that case, a Honda sedan was entered by the suspect punching the driver’s door lock. Credit cards were then stolen from a purse and the vehicle was re-secured. This method of entry is consistent with 18 other TFA cases dating back to August of 2021 in the areas of Great Falls MD, Carderock and Widewater. Video in those cases show suspects similar to SHAMUILOV.
In all of those cases, Honda vehicles were targeted with the most common model the RV. Investigation reveals SHAMUILOV rents vehicles from the NY/NJ area to travel in the area to commit these crimes usually with a female suspect. NPS Staff is asked to be dilligent for newer model cars with NY, NJ and PA tags in those park areas parked near Honda vehicles and for any person appearing to use a tool to punch vehicle door locks.
