Woman Chases Burglars Out of Germantown House: Police

GERMANTOWN, MD — Montgomery County Police detectives have released home surveillance video of two suspects in a Sept. 19 Germantown burglary and are asking for the public’s help in identifying them.

Burglars awakened a woman who was asleep in her home in the 12700 block of Longford Glen Drive, and found one of the suspects in her living room. Police say the woman confronted the suspect, who then ran toward the front door. Both suspects fled from the home and toward Mateny Road as the homeowner pursued them.

The homeowner then returned to her home and discovered that property had been stolen. Investigators determined that there was no forced entry into the home.
