Police in Prince George's County warned residents about a bank text scam that cost victims tens of thousands of dollars based on three reports last week totaling $95,000.

Tianna Cosby (Mendoza), a 24-year-old from Prince George’s County, was sentenced to nine years in prison on April 9 for leading a check-stealing scheme that stole over $5 million by altering checks from postal collection boxes and a mail distribution center in Capitol Heights between March and August 2021.

A report from Synapse Energy Economics said that electricity bills in the PJM region may rise more than 60% by 2036 due to delays in adding new power generation and a sharp increase in demand.

On April 8, security video showed an ICE agent arriving at the county detention center at 10:15 a.m. and leaving 28 minutes later—six minutes before Rene Pop-Chub exited for his scheduled pickup.
