The Metropolitan Police Department is asking for help from the community to find a group of people involved in a robbery that happened in Northeast Washington, D.C.
On Saturday, January 18, 2025, just before 2 p.m., officers from the First District were called to the 700 block of Second Street, Northeast. A man there told police he had been robbed. He explained that a group of suspects came up to him, attacked him, and stole his coat. After the robbery, the group took off in two stolen cars—a white Hyundai Elantra with Virginia license plates UCZ6524 and a black Hyundai Elantra with North Carolina plates KCZ7931.
The good news is that nearby surveillance cameras caught clear images of the suspects and the cars. These photos could play a big role in finding out who’s responsible for the crime.
If you know anything about this incident, the police are urging you not to approach the suspects. Instead, you can share what you know by calling the police at (202) 727-9099 or texting a tip to 50411. Your information could help solve this case and bring justice to the victim.
As a thank-you, the Metropolitan Police Department is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of those involved in violent crimes like this one in the District of Columbia. Every bit of information helps, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you can assist.
