The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is seeking assistance from the community in identifying suspects connected to a series of armed robberies that occurred in Northeast Washington, DC, early on October 20, 2026. The department reported that the incidents involved suspects exiting a green Hyundai Santa Fe with Virginia license plates, brandishing firearms, and demanding property from their victims.
Three robberies occurred within a short time frame on that day. The first incident took place at approximately 1:23 a.m. at 5th and K Street, followed by another at 1:25 a.m. at 300 Morse Street. The third robbery was reported at around 2:55 a.m. at 1500 Elkington Place. Each of these offenses is under investigation, and the MPD has released a photo of the suspect’s vehicle to aid in identifying the individuals involved.
Residents who may have information regarding these robberies are encouraged to contact the MPD. The department has provided two ways to report tips: by calling (202) 727-9099 or by texting the department’s tip line at 50411. Additionally, the MPD is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for violent crimes in the district.
As the investigation continues, the MPD urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.
