W Express the Scene of Another Theft From Auto

An arrest was made in February, but the problem persists.

Back in November police noticed  from the W Express gas station in the 6400 block of New Hamsphire Avenue and in February  from the same gas station. Later in February Takoma Park Police  in one of the thefts. And way back in December the station made our list of stolen. And surprise, surprise. They're at it again. There was another theft from auto at the station Friday morning. 

The victim was pumping gas when a dark-colored 4-door vehicle entered the gas station lot.  The suspect vehicle pulled next to the victim’s vehicle, opened the driver’s door and removed property from the front passenger seat, police said.  The suspect vehicle exited the gas station and entered the gas station lot of the Sunoco Gas Station next to the W Express. The suspect vehicle pulled up next to a black SUV, but it is unknown if anything was taken from that vehicle.  The suspect vehicle then exited that gas station and fled southbound on New Hampshire Avenue, police said.
