PGPD Investigating Fatal Crash; Suspect Remains Hospitalized

 The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a fatal collision that occurred Wednesday afternoon in Bowie. The victim is 69-year-old Deborah Saffran of Bowie. The adult male driver who struck the victim after fleeing a traffic stop remains hospitalized.

On August 26, 2026, at approximately 2:45 pm, officers attempted to conduct the traffic stop near Lanham Severn Road and Driscoll Drive.

PGPD Cracks Down on Organized Retail Theft

An extensive investigation led by the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Organized Retail Theft Task Force has resulted in charges against multiple suspects involved in a multi-jurisdiction theft ring. This case was investigated in conjunction with Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office and the United States Attorney’s Office – District of Maryland.

Six suspects involved in this theft ring are currently in custody.

On Monday morning, the PGPD, along with Maryland State Police, the Metropolitan Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations executed six search warrants simultaneously in both Maryland and Washington, DC. Approximately $20,000 worth of stolen merchandise was recovered with attached security tags.
