The Metropolitan Police Department is on the lookout for two individuals connected to an attempted armed robbery incident that unfolded in Southeast D.C. early last month. The altercation took place on the morning of December 4, just before ten o'clock. According to a statement from the MPD, officers were dispatched to the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue Southeast after receiving reports of the robbery attempt.
Upon their arrival at the scene of the crime, police learned that the victim had been confronted by two assailants, both wielding stun guns. Upon brandishing their weapons, the suspects issued demands for the victim's belongings. Following the failed heist, the duo made a hasty getaway, fleeing the scene aboard a Metrobus, as detailed by MPD. With the culprits still at large, Metro police are urging anyone with information, especially those who might recognize the suspects, to make contact and provide a lead.
In their ongoing efforts to apprehend these individuals, the MPD is offering a financial incentive for assistance. They have announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those behind the violent crime. The department is adamant that individuals with such helpful knowledge should avoid direct engagement and instead communicate with law enforcement professionals. Tips can be relayed via a call to (202) 727-9099 or through a text to their dedicated tip line at 50411.
