Armed Robberies At ATMs In Northeast DC Investigated By Police

WASHINGTON, DC — The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating two daytime armed robberies in Northeast D.C. earlier this week, where the suspects demanded money from people at ATM at gunpoint. D.C. police said they believe the armed robberies are related.

The police did not say whether they believe the robberies are related to the series of armed robberies where a group of three or four suspects, including a 14-year-old who was arrested on Tuesday, kidnapped people, assaulted them, took them to ATMs and then demanded them to withdraw money.

On Sunday, at about 10 a.m., suspects approached a victim at an ATM, in the 1000 block of H Street Northeast. One of the suspects brandished a handgun and demanded money from the victim. The victim complied, and then the suspects fled the scene, according to police.

On Monday, at about 2:30 pm, the suspects approached a victim at an ATM in the same block of H Street Northeast. One of the suspects brandished a handgun and demanded money from the victim. The victim complied, and the suspects fled the scene, the police said.

Surveillance cameras captured the suspects in both armed robberies.

Anyone who can identify the suspects or who has knowledge of the incidents is asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or text their tip to the MPD’s text tip line at 50411.

The MPD is currently offering a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of people who commit violent crimes in the District.
