Holdup

A Provident Savings Bank was robbed midday Friday by three men, one of which was carrying a .22-caliber rifle and they succeeded in exiting the bank with an undisclosed amount of money inside of two white pillowcases, county police said.
The three suspects entered the Provident Savings Bank in the 3100 block of Greenmount Avenue around 12:20 p.m. where one of them pointed the weapon at the bank manager and ordered the four employees and two customers to lie down on the floor. The other two suspects leaped over the counter and ransacked several tellers’ cages, police said.
After successfully getting to the other side of the bank counter, the suspects proceeded to stuff money into two white pillowcases. They then ran out of the bank, east along the alley on the north side of the bank where they disposed of the rifle, police said.
The suspects were lost from sight after they fled the scene with the cash and there were no injuries or arrests, county police said.

Shopping!!!

You could say that Debra Wright, 49, of Silver Spring, Maryland was born to shop because for as long as she can remember she has enjoyed shopping,

“Shopping is more of a mental stress reliever,” said Debra Wright, 49, resident of Silver Spring. “It gives me the feeling of satisfaction. It eases the stress of the situation.”

Whether Wright is shopping for business attire, boots, or her favorite item, shoes, it is the great bargains she finds on quality designer wear that makes Wright so interested in shopping.

“I’ve cut back a lot but I used to go to the mall an average of three to four times a week,” Wright said. “Maybe I didn’t purchase anything. I could have just been window shopping or returning a previous purchase. I am the return queen!”

Hobbies are an excellent way to pass the time and what better way to do that than by shopping!
