The Metropolitan Police Department recently apprehended a young teenager in connection with a burglary that occurred earlier this summer in the Northeast neighborhood of Washington D.C. According to the official statement released by the police, the incident took place on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, when three individuals illegally entered a residence on the 400 block of 21st Street, Northeast.
Reportedly, at about 4:00 p.m., the suspects, confronted by an occupant, hastily departed from the scene with stolen items belonging to the victims. In a turn of events which led to a breakthrough on Sunday, October 12, a 13-year-old girl from the same area was taken into custody in compliance with a DC Superior Court custody order. Charged with Burglary One, the adolescent was ensnared by the law, though her identity remains protected due to her juvenile status.
The ongoing investigation into the burglary seeks to identify and locate the remaining suspects who are at large. Authorities are offering a financial incentive — a reward up to $1,000 — for information that could lead to the arrest and indictment of those involved in this or other criminal activities within the District. Community members privy to relevant information are urged to contact the police at (202) 727-9099 or to anonymously text the tip line at 50411.
