WASHINGTON, D.C. — Four juveniles have been arrested in connection with an armed carjacking that took place in Northeast D.C. late last year, authorities announced Wednesday.

On December 22, at approximately 8:58 p.m., officers responded to the 5800 block of Dix Street NE for a reported carjacking. The suspects allegedly approached the victim as she was parking, with one displaying a handgun and demanding she exit the vehicle. The suspects then fled in the victim’s car, which was later recovered.

Following an investigation, detectives obtained custody orders for four juveniles:

  • A 15-year-old male from Southeast D.C., arrested on March 14 for armed carjacking.
  • A 12-year-old male from Glenarden, MD, arrested on March 18 for armed carjacking.
  • A 16-year-old male from College Park, MD, arrested on March 19 for armed carjacking.
  • A 14-year-old female from Landover, MD, arrested on March 19 for unauthorized use of a vehicle.

The case remains under investigation.
