Following up on a burglary reported last month in Southeast, Washington DC, police have made an arrest connected to the incident, authorities say. A residence on the 600 block of Raleigh Street, Southeast fell victim to the crime on Tuesday, September 24, when an individual unlawfully entered the home around 6:45 a.m. and absconded with various items. The suspect subsequently fled the location, leaving behind few clues as to their identity. This information comes in the wake of an announcement from the Metropolitan Police Department.
It wasn't until two weeks later, on Tuesday, that detectives managed to quickly follow up on the trail of evidence, leading to the arrest of 42-year-old Ralph Phillips. According to the official report obtained by the Metropolitan Police Department, Phillips, who reportedly is of no fixed address, has been charged with Burglary in the First Degree.
Details on the circumstances of Phillips' arrest remain brief, but police assert the detectives' investigation was pivotal in bringing him into custody.
