Bethesda Ranked Second Healthiest City in America for Women

SELF Magazine has ranked Bethesda as the Second Healthiest City in America for Women. Topped only by Burlington, Vermont - Bethesda was given this honor based largely because it is a SAFE city for women to live.

The story specifies that the area has a much lower percentage of violent crime, rape and traffic accidents that are fatal. Kudos to the Montgomery County Police who are largely responsible for keeping crime low and public safety a top priority.

BE ALERT - Bethesda Burglaries Focus on Condos

There has been a rash of burglaries in Bethesda area condos since the middle of August of this year. The latest report was as recent as October 6th. The Montgomery County Police have issued a warning to all of the condominiums in Bethesda. There have been reports of a man entering buildings during the day through unlocked entry doors and looking for unlocked units to steal from.

In two of the reported incidents, the burglar entered the condo while the unit owners were home. He fled once seen, and has been captured on surveillance video in an elevator. He is known to carry a black backpack and once in the building travels from floor to floor.

The suspect is a Black male, 25-50 years of age, 5'9 to 6.0' and approximately 170 to 190 pounds. He is bald and wears glasses.

PLEASE be sure to lock any exterior doors you exit. Do not PROP open doors - please use your keys. Be VIGILANT. Report unusual activity, and question those that are not residents if walking through the building.
