The Montgomery County Police Department’s (MCPD) 3rd District Commander Jason Cokinos shared on Twitter/X that two suspects that had allegedly stolen merchandise from a CVS on Georgia Ave were caught by officers with assistance from MCPD’s Raven 1 drone.
Per Cokinos, “ARRESTED! Thought you could flee and get away…. NOPE! Repeat offender thieves caught by your @mcpnews 3rd District officers, Central Business District (CBD) team, along with RAVEN 1 🚁 Drone.
Two suspects hit a CVS on Georgia Avenue and loaded up their car with merchandise. Quick responding officers and the drone located the suspects who bailed out on foot in a neighborhood near downtown.
Can’t outrun RAVEN…. good containment and air support coordinated the arrests made by our officers who don’t give up! One suspect was wanted on other theft charges as well. Taken to processing and booked.”
We will provide an update if additional information becomes available.
