WASHINGTON, D.C. — Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department have arrested a teenager in connection with a series of commercial retail thefts across Northwest Washington and are seeking assistance from the community to identify additional persons of interest.
According to department reports, investigators identified a person of interest who was involved in four separate retail theft incidents spanning three Northwest commercial corridors between late August and early October. On Thursday, October 29, 2026, authorities executed a D.C. Superior Court pre-petition custody order and arrested a 17-year-old female from Northeast, D.C. She has been charged with four counts of Theft One.
The first incident occurred on Friday, August 28, 2026, at approximately 8:00 p.m. in the 3200 block of M Street, Northwest, logged under CCN 26121944. A month later, on Monday, September 28, 2026, two separate businesses were targeted within an hour: the first at approximately 3:41 p.m. in the 1000 block of F Street, Northwest, under CCN 26138701, and the second at approximately 4:26 p.m. in the 1000 block of Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, under CCN 26138764. The fourth incident took place on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at approximately 7:28 p.m., also in the 3200 block of M Street, Northwest, under CCN 26140540.
Detectives have released surveillance photographs of the remaining unidentified individuals sought in connection with each of the four incidents. Authorities ask anyone who can identify these individuals or who has knowledge of the thefts to avoid taking direct action and instead call police at (202) 727-9099 or text tip information to the department text tip line at 50411.
The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and indictment of individuals responsible for crimes committed in the District of Columbia.
