A string of bold robberies and thefts came to a head when the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) caught and arrested a 14-year-old from North Brentwood, MD. The teen, whose name was not disclosed due to his age, was alleged to be involved in multiple crimes around the Third District spanning from early March to April.

The spree started with a theft at an apartment building located at 1400 R Street, Northwest on March 1, where the suspects managed to quickly enter and to take property, then vanished into the night. The MPD reported this incident under CCN: 24035735.

Following this, on March 3, in two distinct incidents, the youth reportedly committed armed robbery and another robbery. The first happening at 2100 block of 12th Street, Northwest saw him allegedly brandishing a handgun at the victim before fleeing with their belongings in a white SUV, with the authorities documenting the instance under CCN: 24032800. Shortly after, at the 600 block of T Street, Northwest, a similar pattern unfolded as noted in CCN: 24032784, where the suspect allegedly robbed another victim's purse and made an escape in the same manner.

Later that same day, a failed break-in at 2200 block of 17th Street, Northwest ended with the suspects escaping empty-handed, the episode marked with CCN: 24033447. The criminal charges continued to mount as on the following day, a robbery via force and violence in the 1700 block of 16th Street, Southeast resulted in yet more stolen goods. This incident was tracked under CCN: 24033232. An April 6 episode noted under CNN: 24051447 featured a similar combination of assault and theft at the 1300 block of 5th Street, Northwest, with the suspects once again managing to get away.

The juvenile has been charged with a series of grave offenses, indicating an escalation in criminal behavior that the MPD was determined to steadfastly halt.
