Attempted carjacking in downtown Silver Spring


Montgomery County police are searching for three male suspects in an assault and attempted carjacking in downtown Silver Spring on October 7, 2020. Detectives say a 28-year-old man parked his car in the 8700 block of Cameron Street around 8:49 PM. When he exited the vehicle, he was approached by three males.

One of the suspects assaulted the man and robbed him of property, including his car keys. The three men then got into the victim's vehicle and attempted to steal it. Unable to operate the car's manual transmission, the men got out and fled on foot.

  1. I've begun seeing stickers on cars that show a 5-speed gearshift pattern and the stickers read "Millenial Anti-Theft Device" :)
