WASHINGTON, DC — A series of carjackings across the nation’s capital has culminated in the apprehension of a 15-year-old boy from Northeast, D.C. The Metro Police Department confirmed the arrest of the teenager, who is now facing multiple charges about the four separate incidents that rattled various neighborhoods.
The juvenile is accused of initiating his spree with an unarmed carjacking late last Friday night in the vicinity of Kentucky Avenue, Southeast. Subsequent armed carjackings are attributed to him, with the second occurring early last Sunday morning on F Street, Northeast, and the third later that evening along Benning Road. The most recent charge stems from an incident in the early hours of Thursday on Southern Avenue, Southeast.
As the investigations proceed, authorities urge anyone with information to refrain from intervening and instead contact the police at (202) 727-9099. Alternatively, tips can be submitted anonymously via the department’s text line at 50411.
