Washington, DC – A series of robbery offenses has led the Metropolitan Police Department to seek the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect.
On Tuesday morning, the suspect was involved in two separate incidents:
- Assault with Intent to Rob: At approximately 10:40 a.m., the suspect approached a victim in the 500 block of 1st Street, Southeast. The suspect assaulted the victim and attempted to steal their property before fleeing the scene.
- Armed Robbery: Just 30 minutes later, around 11:10 a.m., the same suspect approached another victim inside a building in the 1400 block of 4th Street, Southwest. This time, the suspect brandished a handgun and took the victim’s property before escaping.
Surveillance cameras captured images of the suspect, which can be viewed in the photos and video here: Watch Here.
Authorities urge anyone who can identify the suspect or has information about these incidents to refrain from taking action but to contact police at (202) 727-9099 or text tips to the Department’s TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for violent crimes in the District of Columbia.
