On July 3, Metropolitan Police Department detectives arrested two suspects, connecting them to eight different robberies that occurred throughout Washington, DC between June 15 and July 2.
The two suspects, one 30 years old and the other 25, are both residents of Southeast DC. While each incident varies in specific details, the suspects are said to have demanded property from a single victim in each robbery.
In four of the eight robberies, the suspects are said to have taken property or money from the victim after threatening them with a handgun. In one, they also assaulted the victim.
The robberies occurred on the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue, SE and the 3800 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE.
The last of the locations featured two separate robberies. The robberies occurred on July 1 at 4:35 p.m., on June 29 at about 7:00 p.m., on June 29 at about 6:00 p.m and on June 27 at about 8:42 p.m.
In two more of the robberies, the suspects allegedly assaulted a victim before taking their property. These occurred on July 2 and June 15 on the 4400 block of Georgia Avenue, NW and the 4700 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, respectively. The suspects were unarmed in the offenses.
In each of the final two robberies, only one suspect is said to have been present. Police say the suspect took property or money from the victims after threatening them with a handgun. Both occurred on the evening of June 29, the first on the 3800 block of Minnesota Avenue, SE and the other one hour later on the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue, SE.
It is unclear which suspect is believed to have been responsible for these final two offenses.
The 25-year-old suspect was also arrested for carrying a pistol without a license, while the 30-year-old suspect faces additional charges for tampering with a GPS monitoring device and for possessing a firearm as a felon.
During the period of the robberies, the 30-year-old’s GPS was largely uncharged, a violation of the terms of use. However, when the GPS was functioning, the device placed one of the suspects near the scene during the time frames the robberies are said to have occurred.
