WASHINGTON, D.C. – A red Ford Explorer is at the center of an investigation into a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred Friday morning across multiple neighborhoods in the First District.
The first incident was reported at approximately 8:41 a.m. in the Unit block of K Street, Northeast, where suspects broke into a vehicle and stole property. Shortly after, at 9:09 a.m., two suspects reportedly broke into another vehicle on the 400 block of 12th Street, Northeast, stole property, and fled in the red SUV.
A third vehicle break-in was reported at 9:37 a.m. on the 200 block of D Street, Southeast. Officers discovered a shattered vehicle window but have not determined if any items were stolen in this case.
Images of the suspects and their vehicle were captured by a nearby surveillance camera, and the Metropolitan Police Department has released the footage in an effort to identify those responsible.
Anyone with information about these incidents or the suspects is encouraged to contact MPD at (202) 727-9099 or anonymously text 50411. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for tips leading to an arrest and indictment.
