WASHINGTON, DC – More than two weeks after someone smashed through the front door of an E Street business in Northwest DC and fled with property, police are asking the public to help identify the suspect captured on surveillance cameras.
The burglary occurred just after 2 a.m. Aug. 18 in the 600 block of E Street NW, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Police said the suspect destroyed the establishment’s front door to get inside, took property and then fled.
The department did not identify the business or disclose what was taken.
First District officers responded to the establishment at approximately 9:16 a.m. after the burglary was reported.
