Washington, DC Teens Involved In Attempted Carjacking Have Charges Dropped as Crime Soars in the City

Two teenagers allegedly involved in an attempted carjacking in the Navy Yard neighborhood in Washington, D.C. had their charges dropped as similar incidents are on the rise in the nation’s capital.

The Metropolitan Police Department said in a press release the incident occurred on Friday and a total of four suspects were involved. The suspects approached the victim and tried to steal the vehicle, one of whom used a stun gun on the victim, however they were unsuccessful in stealing it.

All suspects then fled the scene but three were arrested by police with the fourth being able to get away. The arrested suspects are all female and are aged 16, 14, and 12 years-old.

n addition to an increase in carjackings, homicides are on the rise in the city, up 8 percent from last year. Washington, D.C. reached its 100th homicide on Friday. Mayor Muriel Bowser has said the crime surge is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, kids being out of school, and joblessness.

  1. Somebody needs to. break it to the mayor that the reason she has a crime problem sort of has something to do with defunding the police. Really not rocket science.

  2. Ok…4 total involved, able to arrest 3 and 2 were released. All female teens.

    2 may be been released, but I suppose the LEOs are still on this – allowing 2 to think its over but will end up outing the 4th.

    I would hope all LEOs had projected a harsher spring/summer since folks are getting out. Of course the rates of crime are up from last year. What on earth were most of us doing last year?

    Another day in the inner city, sad but oh so true!

  3. They used a stun gun on the victim while attempting to carjack the driver and all charges are dropped.

    This gives a green light to more carjackings with a weapon.
