MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) — A juvenile was taken into custody Saturday night after they allegedly tried to light a food truck on fire in Downtown Silver Spring.

Montgomery County Department of Police (MCPD) Third District Commander Jason Cokinos said that around 6 p.m., officers received a call about someone trying to set a food truck on fire in the 800 block of Thayer Avenue.

The police department quickly deployed its “Raven 3” drone to assess the situation and locate the suspect. However, when officers arrived and began to approach the suspect, they ran, according to MCPD.
