The hunt is on for a band of thieves who struck a vehicle on the mean streets of Northeast D.C., according to the Metropolitan Police Department’s Sixth District. Law enforcement officials are calling on the public to lend their eyes and ears in the scramble to pinpoint suspects following a theft from a vehicle earlier this week.

At the witching hour of 4:00 a.m. on Monday, April 15, suspects made their move, zeroing in on a vehicle parked on the 600 block of Kenilworth Avenue, Northeast, officials said. These unidentified individuals not only broke into the car with what seemed to be unsettling ease, but they also made off with an unspecified bounty stolen from the automobile and, disappeared into the night. Not long after their initial foray, the crooks brazenly used a credit card, plucked from the site of their crime according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Detectives are scratching the surface of leads, eager to apprehend the suspects whose identities remain shrouded in mystery. In a district where the dance between lawkeepers and lawbreakers is eternal, it is the observant citizen that often tips the scale in favor of justice. The MPD did not disclose if the vehicle was left unlocked or what specific items were pilfered during the foray.

The authorities have yet to release a detailed description of the suspects in question. As the investigation unfolds, more information is expected to come to light. For those in possession of tips, the MPD has encouraged communication with the department. By cooperating with investigators, concerned citizens can assist in ensuring that these thieves are held accountable for their actions.

Anyone with information about this incident is strongly urged to reach out to the MPD at 202-727-9099 or submit a tip anonymously via the department’s TEXT TIP LINE by messaging 50411. Metropolitan Police Department is determined to close the net on these offenders, and with the community's assistance, they might just succeed.
