Juvenile Robber Caught on Sunday

From Sgt. Stuart Emerman:

On Sunday, January 8, 2006, officers from the Third District responded to a call for a robbery at 9th and N Streets NW at approximately 10:40 AM for a robbery.

In that case, a citizen was approached by a male juvenile who placed an unknown item to his back and took $100 and a cell phone. A lookout was given by the victim, and the officers canvassed the neighborhood.

At 1:15 PM, at 1300 9th Street, the same suspect struck again, this time robbing a citizen of $10. The lookout matched, and responding officers located the suspect in the area of 7th and P Streets NW. He was positively identified by both victims and placed under arrest. The suspect is a 16 year old male who resides in Northeast DC.

I will try to keep you informed as to whether he was charged as an adult or juvenile, and if so, what charges.

Anyone hear any loud, low-flying helicopters over Logan Circle last night? It happened around 4am, and lasted for what seemed like a few minutes (the helicopter was probably circling).

Anyway, the helicopter sounded incredibly low to the ground, thus being incredibly loud for the middle of the night. I have no idea who to complain to about this.

You might want to email Logan Circle News so they can post it where everyone can read your question.

I don't know who you can contact. I didn't hear anything but that doesn't mean anything. I sleep very soundly.

I heard the helicopters too! Woke me up, and was a bit un-nerving!

Glad to hear that MPD caught the suspect. Nice work!

A big giant thank you to the officers involved and the citizens who identified the robber in the 9th and N area over the weekend.

These arrests will keep sending the message to juveniles that committing these offenses is not OK or socially acceptable (unlike their peers may be telling them).

Thank you for this information officer. Guess I can live with the helicopters if they're being used to fight crime.
