URGENT UPDATE: The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is urgently appealing to the public for assistance in locating a suspect linked to a recent burglary and a series of fraudulent activities in Northeast D.C. This incident occurred on October 26, 2025, at approximately 8:28 p.m. when the suspect entered a residence in the 600 block of 8th Street while the occupants were present.
This alarming break-in resulted in the theft of personal property, including bank cards. However, the situation escalated quickly as the suspect attempted to use these stolen cards at local businesses shortly after the crime, worsening the distress for the victims.
In a bid to bring the suspect to justice, the MPD is not only seeking information but is also offering a reward of up to $1,000 for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible. “The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward for information that leads to an arrest,” the official press release stated.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about this suspect or the incident to act promptly. They advise against direct intervention and recommend contacting police at (202) 727-9099. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via text to the Department’s dedicated TIP LINE at 50411.
The community’s vigilance is crucial in these developing events, and any piece of information could be vital in solving this case. As the investigation unfolds, the MPD emphasizes the importance of public cooperation in ensuring safety and justice in the District of Columbia.
