WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two juveniles have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery and carjacking that took place last week in Northeast, D.C., according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, January 7, at approximately 12:13 p.m. in the 700 block of Kenilworth Terrace. Police said the suspects approached the victim as he exited his vehicle, with one of them brandishing a handgun and demanding the victim’s property and car keys. After taking the items, the suspects fled the scene.
Following an investigation, detectives arrested a 16-year-old male from Northeast and a 15-year-old male from Southeast on Wednesday, January 15. Both juveniles face charges including armed robbery, armed carjacking, possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device.
The Metropolitan Police Department has not released additional information about the suspects due to their ages. It is also unclear if the victim’s stolen property was recovered.
