WASHINGTON — Detectives with the Metropolitan Police Department are asking for the public's help locating a stolen SUV connected to several crimes that have occurred in the District since Friday.
Around 10 a.m. Friday, police claim suspects got inside an SUV that was left running with the keys in the ignition in the 2700 block of Calvert Street, Northwest. The suspects fled the scene in the stolen SUV.
On Tuesday around 6 a.m., the suspects, who were inside an SUV, approached people who were walking on 4th Street, Northeast. Police say the suspects got out of the SUV and took money and property from the victims. The suspects then fled the scene in the SUV.
Police did not say how many people were robbed.
Six minutes later, police say the same group of suspects approached a person sitting outside in the 100 block of N Street, Southeast.
Police say the suspects got out of the SUV and brandished a gun. The suspects then assaulted the victim while demanding property. The victim did not comply. The suspects then fled the scene in the SUV.
The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment of injuries that weren't life-threatening.
Around 7:15 a.m., police say the suspects, who were in the SUV, approached a person who was walking at the corner of K and 3rd streets, Northwest. One of the suspects pointed a gun at the victim and demanded their property. The suspects then fled the scene in the SUV without obtaining any property.
