A pair of 13-year-old boys was arrested over the weekend for two separate armed carjacking’s that happened Friday, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Police say the first carjacking happened around 7:10 p.m. in the 300 block of K Street, Northwest. The two boys approached the driver, one brandishing a handgun, and told them to exit the car. The victim got out of the car, and the two boys tried to drive off in the stolen car, but couldn’t. They took off on foot, according to police.
About 90 minutes later, MPD received another call for an armed carjacking at the 400 block of O Street, Northwest. This victim was also told to exit their car by two suspects, while one showed a gun. This time the two suspects were able to drive off in the car.
The next day, police said they arrested a 13-year-old boy from Northwest D.C., and a 13-year-old boy from Brandywine, Maryland, for the crimes. The boys have both been charged with two counts of armed carjacking.
They’re the latest to be arrested in a string of carjacking’s by young teens.
On Thursday, MPD detectives arrested a 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy for a carjacking using a knife, but police believe five people may have been involved altogether.
Those reports come days after the death of UberEats driver Muhammad Anwar, who was killed when two teenage girls, aged 13 and 15, attempted to steal his car with a stun gun, leading two a deadly rollover crash in D.C.’s Navy Yard community.
Anwar’s family is still reeling for his death, and some leaders are calling for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime.
The car was borrowed by to kids of color because America is racist. Putting the children in cages is just wrong. Biden will fix it.
Nothing new here….lets move along.
Guess we could solve this by gorilla warfare , get it .
