The Montgomery County Department of Police - 1st District has seen an increase in, "distraction thefts," targeting senior citizens in shopping and grocery store parking lots. Suspects may approach their victims with friendly conversation—asking for directions, offering compliments, or even placing “gifted” jewelry on them. During this interaction, they use quick, deceptive movements to steal valuables the victim is already wearing. Detectives are encouraging community members to take the following precautions:  🔹 Be aware of your surroundings, especially when wearing jewelry 🔹 Do not engage with strangers who approach unexpectedly 🔹 Remove any item placed on you and walk away  🔹 Never allow anyone to touch or remove your  personal property If you are approached or feel unsafe, contact police immediately. If you’ve been a victim, please report it through the non-emergency line (301)279-8000. Anonymous tips can be shared with Crime Solvers at 📞 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). Help us spread the word and protect our community. #MCPNews #MCPD #DistractionTheft
