On Tuesday night, a burglary disrupted the peace in Northeast DC, leading to the swift arrest of a suspect by the Metropolitan Police Department. The incident occurred on April 30, 2024, when at around 9:27 p.m., an individual reportedly entered an establishment, committed theft, and quickly vanished with stolen goods from the 2300 block of 4th Street, Northeast, according to a release from the MPD.
Investigation efforts by the MPD detectives led to the issuing of a DC Superior Court arrest warrant. Consequently, 59-year-old James Bradshaw became the prime suspect in the case, and the MPD Fugitive Unit apprehended him, according to an MPD statement. Bradshaw was taken into custody and has since been charged with Second Degree Burglary.
The MPD has not released further details about the stolen property or the specifics of the burglary. However, the arrest of Mr. Bradshaw is a crucial step, towards resolving the April 30th incident. The case will proceed to the local judiciary where Bradshaw will face the charges brought against him.
