According to the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD), the incident occurred on January 22, 2026, at a residence in the 5000 block of Del Ray Avenue in Bethesda. The victim reported that after leaving briefly to pick up her child, she returned to find the organizer had left and later discovered that a gold necklace was missing.
