Why it matters
Police in Washington are asking for help identifying the suspects in two recent armed home invasions in Northeast D.C. that left residents assaulted, a sexual assault attempt thwarted, and vehicles stolen — with one car still missing.
Full report
According to WJLA, the two home invasions happened recently in Northeast Washington. In at least one incident, intruders assaulted residents and attempted a sexual assault that was thwarted. Vehicles were stolen from the properties, and one car remains missing.
Police have released surveillance images of the suspects and are offering up to $10,000 for tips leading to arrests. Residents are urged to call or text police with any information rather than confronting suspects themselves.
The incidents come amid a worrying local trend: while overall crime in the District has fallen 15% and car thefts have dropped sharply, police say violent crime and assaults with deadly weapons are still rising. Two separate Friday night shootings in Northwest and Northeast D.C. left a young boy and two men wounded, according to DC News Now.
