What a coincidence! Reliance Funding's Bethesda offices were burgled on July 6, 2016, the exact same day Reliance Funding was served in a Maryland Class Action Lawsuit alleging fraud against Baltimore City black lead paint victims.
According to a July 20, 2016 press release by the Montgomery County Police, on Wednesday, July 7, 2016, police officers responded to the Reliance Funding office located at 6900 Wisconsin Avenue Bethesda MD, for a burglary that had just been discovered by an employee. The investigation determined the suspect entered the building when a cleaning crew member opened the front door for him. Once inside the building, the suspect had access to the individual offices and investigators are working to determine what property was stolen.
The Montgomery County police posted the surveillance video from the burglary on YouTube in the hope that someone can identify the suspected perp.
