A group of roughly 10 people reportedly broke into the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Chevy Chase early Tuesday, according to police radio transmissions.  

An employee of a monitoring service called Montgomery County police at about 1 a.m. after “a large group” of about 10 people wearing all black, including masks, broke into the luxury store at 5555 Wisconsin Ave., according to the initial radio dispatch.  

At least two possible suspects were taken into custody following the break-in at Saks Fifth Avenue, according to the transmissions. No information was available on what may have been stolen from the store.

Officers reported the incident could be related to “smash and grabs” occurring at other businesses in Washington, D.C., on Monday night.  

Montgomery County police didn’t immediately respond Tuesday morning to requests for comment.
