In the most recent crime, about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, at least two people broke through two side windows of the ­T-Mobile store near Ridge Road at Interstate 270 in Germantown, authorities said. Phones and other electronic items were stolen, according to Goodale. ADADLane said investigators “have reason to believe” the break-in is related to the burglary one night later at the T-Mobile in Germantown. Last week — about 2:30 a.m. Oct. 16 — several thieves broke through the glass front door of an AT&T store on Columbia Pike in the eastern part of Montgomery County, about 15 miles from the other break-ins. Surveillance video related to the AT&T burglary showed three people going into the store and then leaving two minutes later with stolen items, Goodale said.
