The Metropolitan Police Department is reaching out to the public for help in tracking down four individuals linked to a recent business burglary in Southeast D.C. According to a Metropolitan Police Department release, the incident took place in the early hours of September 12, when three persons forcibly entered an establishment located on the 2000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and made off with an ATM machine. Their actions were abetted by a fourth suspect, who facilitated their escape in a getaway vehicle.
Footage from security cameras at the scene has provided visual evidence of the suspects, now circulated in hopes that community members might recognize the culprits. The official police report details the time of the burglary as approximately 1:08 a.m. and urges anyone with information to come forward.
In an effort to encourage tip-offs, the Metropolitan Police Department is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in this case. They have made a specific request for citizens to refrain from engaging the suspects directly, proposing instead that any information be forwarded to the authorities via phone at (202) 727-9099 or through the Department's designated text tip line at 50411.
