WASHINGTON — D.C. Police are searching for the suspects who robbed a man at gunpoint for his coat.
It happened in the 4800 block of 41st Street, Northwest around 3:45 p.m. December, 12. Police used surveillance video from a nearby house to see how the event unfolded.
In the video, you can see the victim riding his bike before a white sedan pulls up blocking the rider’s path. Suddenly two men jump out of the car shouting orders. One of the men flashed a gun from inside of his coat.
The robber told the bicyclist, “Give me the coat or I’m gonna kill you,” according to the police report.
The victim complies and begins to take off his coat. The suspect appears to snatch the coat off the victim’s back, ball it up, and climb back into the car. The white sedan then flees the scene.
In the official report, the victim told police the coat stolen was a Canada Goose Coat valued at $1,200.
Police are now asking for the community’s help to locate the robbers. If you recognize the men from this video call D.C. police at 202-727-9099. Anyone who wishes to remain anonymous should text 50411. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered to anyone with information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
