The first offense occurred on Nov. 9 on the 2100 block of M Street, NW at around 10:40 p.m. The suspect approached the victim brandishing a gun. After taking the victim’s property and car keys, the suspect fled in the victim’s vehicle.

On Nov. 10 at approximately 4:35 P.M, on the 2800 block of R Street, NW, the suspect forcefully took the victim’s property before fleeing the scene.

The third offense took place that same day around 4:42 p.m. on the 1500 block of 35th Street, NW. The suspect allegedly took the victim’s property and fled the scene.

The final instance also took place on Nov. 10 at approximately 5:00 P.M. on the 1300 block of 22nd Street, NW. The suspect allegedly snatched the victim’s property before fleeing the scene.

These cases are still under investigation, but MPD officers arrested a 17 year-old juvenile male in relation to these offenses on Nov. 10.
