REPORT: BURGLAR CAUGHT BY WOOD ACRES HOMEOWNER, ASSAULT IN GROSVENOR - BETHESDA CRIME UPDATE

I received a report Thursday about a burglary the previous night on Devonshire Drive in Wood Acres. The burglar was apparently encountered by the homeowner. I'm checking to find out if the alleged perpetrator escaped and is still at large, or was captured by police. In the meantime, it would be a good time to ensure your doors and windows are locked, to prevent or slow down would-be burglars.
