Rockville

Detectives from the Rockville City Police Department are investigating an assault and theft which occurred at the Montgomery County Liquor & Wine store in the 300 block of King Farm Boulevard in Rockville. Detectives have released surveillance photos of the suspects and are asking for the public’s help in identifying them.

On November 8, 2021 at approximately 2:25 p.m., Rockville City Police officers responded to a report for an assault call and theft. The investigation determined that four suspects entered the store and left without paying for several bottles of alcohol. As the suspects were exiting the store, one of the suspects used pepper spray on a store employee. The suspects left in a silver vehicle and fled the area. The store employee was transported to a local hospital for treatment.


Clarksburg

A water main break in Clarksburg headed towards the Damascus area has created a sinkhole that has closed Ridge Road.

The 24” water main on Ridge Rd is Damascus’ primary domestic water source so low water pressure or outages may occur in the area. WSSC is on scene, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue.

Kung Fu Tea has signed on to take over the location that’s as recently home to Yogi Berry, next to Starbucks in the same shopping center as Cava Mezze, CVS, and Cafe Rio at 3128 Olney Sandy Spring Road.

The bubble tea cafe was one of the first to distinguish itself by having a system where drinkers customize their orders by sweetness, amount of ice, toppings, and more, using Asian teas as a base rather than commercial powders.
