WASHINGTON, D.C. — A 17-year-old girl has been arrested and charged in connection with an unarmed carjacking that occurred last month in Northwest Washington, leaving the victim injured.

The incident took place on Nov. 1 at approximately 12:40 a.m., when the suspects approached a victim seated in their vehicle in the 2500 block of Georgia Avenue. The suspects assaulted the victim, pulled them from the car, and fled the scene in the stolen vehicle. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The vehicle was later recovered by authorities.

On Dec. 10, the juvenile suspect, a resident of Northeast D.C., was taken into custody pursuant to a DC Superior Court custody order and charged with unarmed carjacking.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and police are seeking additional information. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for tips leading to further arrests or indictments in connection with the case.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at (202) 727-9099 or text tips to 50411.
