The police were informed of the situation as they patrolled the vicinity of the 1900 block of 8th Street, Northwest, and have since been working to resolve the case, as reported by the Metropolitan Police Department.

This Monday, authorities concluded their search with the detention of the suspect, Jackson, a resident of the Northwest quadrant of the city. Jackson is currently facing charges for the crime labeled as 'Robbery (Snatch)' as per the classification by the MPD.
