Suspects Stole Packages from Mail Truck in Takoma Park
The U.S. Mail Police is investigating the theft of several packages from one of its trucks that was delivering mail along the 7000 block of Carroll Avenue in Takoma Park.
On Feb. 2 at 1:50 p.m., Takoma Park Police responded to a report of the theft and learned that two subjects entered the truck while it was on its route, stole several packages and then fled in a vehicle, which was described as a 2015 white Toyota Highlander with Virginia tag ARJIARI, according to Takoma Park Police spokesperson Cathy Plevy.
According to police, one suspect was a black male, 5-feet-8-inches with light skin wearing a black ski mask, black pants and a hoodie. The other suspect was described as a black female, 5-feet-5- inches, 130 pounds, with light skin and wearing light blue jeans, black jacket and a surgical mask. Both suspects appeared to be between 20 and 25 years of age.

A long-anticipated traffic study of the Love Lane area was officially accepted for completion at a Town Board meeting Tuesday.
Consultants were hired to prepare the study after the Town Board deemed a previous study inadequate in 2018. The new study, done by engineers from AKRF, featured an expanded scope and includes the eight arterial roads that feed into Route 25 within the impact area.
According to deputy supervisor Jill Doherty, the next steps include posting the study for public review and scheduling a virtual public meeting to present the report, similar to how the recent New Suffolk parking study was presented in December.
