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.
