DC man arrested in string of robberies and burglaries across Northwest and Northeast
WASHINGTON, DC — A 61-year-old man accused of targeting victims and businesses across multiple neighborhoods has been arrested and charged in connection with a robbery and a series of burglaries and thefts spanning several months, according to investigators.
The arrest stems from a June 12 incident in the 900 block of Massachusetts Avenue NW, when a suspect snatched property from a victim around 9:35 p.m. and fled. Detectives from the Third District identified the suspect, and on August 23, officers executed a DC Superior Court arrest warrant.
The suspect, identified as Ronnie Bryant of Northwest DC, was charged with Robbery (Snatch). Police said the arrest also led to the closure of six additional cases across the city:
- Burglary One on May 15 in the 2400 block of Virginia Avenue NW
- Theft Two on June 5 in the 1200 block of 22nd Street NW
- Burglary Two of an Establishment on June 12 in the 500 block of 23rd Street NW

- Burglary Two of an Establishment on August 18 in the 1200 block of 5th Street NE
