Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) seek the public’s help locating suspects of an armed robbery that happened on Dec. 4.
At around 2:00 p.m., the victim met up with the suspects using the app “Offer Up” to conduct a transaction, on the 2500 block of Sayles Place, SE, according to a press release. One of the suspects took out a handgun and demanded property. A bystander intervened and the suspects fled the scene without obtaining property.
The suspects were captured by a surveillance camera.
“As a reminder, citizens are encouraged to use the Safe Exchange Zones when conducting in-person transactions using online applications such as Craigslist and Offer Up,” the press release stated.
