The Metropolitan Police Department arrested a 17-year-old boy Thursday in connection to two armed carjacking offenses that took place in the Northeast area of the District of Columbia.
At around 5:25 p.m. on March 15, the 17-year-old and other suspects were traveling in a rideshare vehicle in the 2500 block of Burns Street NE. A suspect brandished a gun at the driver, demanding control of the vehicle. The driver handed over some personal property, but not the car. The suspects then fled the scene.
At around 5:30 p.m. Sunday, the suspects were picked up by a rideshare driver in the 2500 block of Burns Street NE. This time, brandishing a gun worked, and the suspects left the scene with the driver’s personal property and car. Law enforcement did not specify if the 17-year-old arrested Thursday was the gunman, nor did they offer any identifying information on the other suspects involved.
The 17-year-old, whose name and demographic information were not disclosed, has been hit with armed carjacking charges.
