Major Crimes Division detectives continue to investigate a home invasion that occurred in Bethesda on December 11 and are asking anyone with information to come forward to the Police Department.  Detectives do not believe that this was a random event.

On Friday, December 11, at approximately 8:44 p.m., officers responded to a residence in the 6500 block of Elgin Lane for the report of a home invasion that just occurred.

Witnesses observed the suspects enter a vehicle, possibly a newer model BMW.

Detectives are asking anyone who has information about this incident to call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5100.  Those who wish to remain anonymous may contact Crime Solvers by phone: 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), online, or via the Crime Solvers app.  Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward of up to $10,000 for information provided to them that leads to an arrest in this case.
