The Metropolitan Police Department is on the lookout for a suspect linked to armed robberies in Northeast Washington. According to information released by MPD, the incidents happened in quick succession last Friday. The first robbery took place around 7 p.m. in the 2300 block of Washington Place, where the suspect brandished a firearm and demanded money from a business’s cash register. Employees handed over the money, after which the suspect fled from the site. The official reference for this case is CCN: 26012909.
On the same evening, another crime occurred similarly at 7 p.m. and in the same vicinity. This time, however, the suspect was thwarted in their attempt to swiftly abscond with the cash. Patrons entered the establishment, prompting the armed individual to abandon the heist and flee without obtaining anything. The related case number for this attempt is CCN: 26012929. The police have urged those with any helpful information to come forward, but strictly cautioned against direct intervention. More details about the incidents can be found on their official website.
