The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has arrested suspects involved in recent robberies.

At around 3:50 a.m., the suspects approached the victim while he was in his vehicle on the 3700 block of Hayes Street, NE, on Aug. 8. They demanded his property and one suspect brandished a gun. The second suspect then pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim. The two suspects proceeded to steal the vehicle and leave.

A 16 year-old juvenile has now been arrested by the MPD and charged with armed carjacking.

An adult female was previously arrested in this case and it remains under investigation.

At around 1:48 p.m. on Nov. 18, the suspects approached the victims on the 1500 block of Taylor Street, NE, and one brandished a handgun. The victims handed over their property and the suspects fled the scene.
