Four teenagers were arrested for a burglary that occurred at Wyngate Elementary School at 9300 Wadsworth Drive at about 9:14 p.m. June 11. No signs of forced entry, a door was reported to have been left unlocked; nothing was taken. The teens were all 14-year-olds from Bethesda.

A real arrest for a virtual burglary.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a dangerous mission into enemy territory.

@9:23 You have spend too much time on the Internet. It's a burglary. "A breaking may occur by merely opening a closed, unopened door." Wagner v. State MD 2005
DeleteOK Mr. Mason.
DeleteA tresspasing case. No way in hell will this be prosecuted as burglary.
ReplyDeleteNothing like making a mountain out of a molehill.
DeleteYou must be MCPS Public Relations, because only someone with an agenda to cover up security breaches would make such an idiotic statement. An unlocked door meant that anyone, with any weapon could have entered the school. This is the same school system that claims to be increasing their security, apparently they are not even up on locking doors.
DeleteHypothetical situations will not make it in court.The definition of burglary is:
Delete"The breaking and entering the house of another in the night-time, with intent to
commit a felony therein, whether the felony be actually committed or not. (Black's Law Dictionary).
Do you really believe that our legal eagles are able to prove that in a court of law?
No one is attempting a cover up here. The police report is a terse statement.
DeleteWe can speculate until the cows come home. The point I was making is that, based on the stated facts,it does not make sense to accuse the teenagers of committing a burglary. Whoever left the door unlocked will probably go undisciplined, unless there
is surveillance video available. But, making the teenagers scapegoats is just not fair.
@5:56 you are not the police, they actually know the law. "A breaking may occur by merely opening a closed, unopened door." Wagner v. State MD 2005
DeleteThey'll probably be safer in jail than in an MCPS classroom nowadays.
