The Metropolitan Police Department is on the hunt for a suspect following a burglary in Northwest Washington, D.C., last month.

According to officials, the incident took place early on a Saturday morning. On April 27, the unidentified individual broke into a business on the 1900 block of 14th Street, Northwest, around 6:40 a.m. and snatched an undisclosed sum of money from the manager's office before escaping, the details shared in a police release.

The department is now reaching out to the public, soliciting help in their ongoing search for the suspect. The Third District detectives responsible for the investigation have not released further details about the burglary or the suspect.

Given the bold nature of the break-in, business owners in the trendy Northwest corridor are on edge, with some expressing concern over future safety and security measures. The amount of money was not disclosed by the police, amplifying the worry among the local community. Law enforcement urges anyone with information to come forward as they collect evidence and leads.

As the investigation continues, MPD is asking that anyone who can identify the suspect or who has information about the burglary contact them through their tip line or by contacting local authorities.
