Deputies from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office were called into action at approximately 3:15 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 6, when a local resident reported that he spotted a group of people attempting to break into his car before fleeing in a silver Acura.
The incident was reported in the 3500 block of King Drive in Dunkirk.
According to investigators, deputies were able to track the Acura to the area of Southern Maryland Boulevard and West Bay Front End Road in Lothian, at which point they attempted to conduct a traffic stop, though the driver fled.

Their troubles were only just beginning.
During a search of the stolen vehicle, deputies recovered more than 20 grams of Psilocybin Mushrooms, as well as backpacks, purses, wallets, AirPods, an iPhone, and other items that had reportedly been stolen.
They were also linked to a second stolen car that was also recovered.
