WASHINGTON — A 27-year-old man has been arrested in connection with multiple robberies targeting 7-11 stores in Northwest D.C., according to law enforcement officials.
Kevon Holston, of Northeast D.C., was apprehended on Tuesday and charged with robbery of an establishment. Police say Holston stole merchandise on four separate occasions between late November and late December.
The incidents include thefts on November 27 and November 30 in the 1600 block of 7th Street Northwest, where he allegedly stole $120 and $150 worth of merchandise, respectively. On December 28, Holston is accused of stealing $70 in goods from the same location and $15 from a 7-11 in the 500 block of K Street Northwest.
The Metropolitan Police Department emphasized its commitment to preventing robberies at essential community businesses and urged residents to report any in-progress incidents by calling 911 rather than intervening.
