The Metropolitan Police Department is on the hunt for a suspect connected to a burglary that occurred last Wednesday in the Northeast quadrant of the city. According to a police statement, the incident took place around 2:30 p.m. on September 24, where an individual reportedly invaded a residence in the 700 block of Maryland Avenue, Northeast. The home, bereft of its occupants at the time, had jewelry and electronics taken from it by the intruder, who then made their escape.
Law enforcement officials are actively pursuing leads and have called upon the public to aid their investigation. They urge anyone with information about the suspect or the burglary to refrain from taking action themselves but to contact the police. The official line is (202) 727-9099, and for those who prefer texting, a tip can be sent to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. There is an added incentive for good samaritans who come forward: the Metropolitan Police Department has offered a reward, which can amount to $1,000, for details that lead to the arrest and indictment of the responsible person or persons.
