WASHINGTON — Metropolitan Police Department investigators are asking for the public's help to identify five men seen riding on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on Pennsylvania Avenue, in Southeast D.C.
The incident was caught on camera in the 2400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE on Saturday, April 8. The vehicles are illegal to ride on public streets in D.C., according to the MPD. However, many locals have also claimed that riding dirt bikes and ATVs is part of the District’s culture.
