Clarksburg Closet, a non-profit operation of Cedarbrook Community Church that provides free clothing to those in need, has been targeted by burglars three times in recent months. Montgomery County police are investigating the incidents, the most-recent of which occurred Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Clarksburg Closet and detectives are seeking any information you may have regarding these incidents, and who may be involved.
The first two attempts to break down a rear door of the building failed. On Tuesday, at 3:38 PM, one or more suspects used a rock to bend and damage the bottom of the back door of their facility at 23810 Stringtown Road. They then pried the door open and entered. A second rear door and window were then opened by the intruder(s).
A stapler was used to vandalize two tables, and items were scattered about. So far, detectives and staff have determined that 10 pairs of size 12 basketball shoes were stolen. Clarksburg Closet will have to pay for the repair of the rear door.
Because all of the attempted and successful break-ins occurred between 3:30 and 4:00 PM, and based on evidence of litter indicating juveniles were loitering on the premises outside the building after-hours, the staff believes juveniles may be behind the incidents.
If you can help identify anyone who may have been involved with the break-ins, email info@clarksburgcloset.org, or call police at (301) 279-8000.
