D.C. police are asking for the public’s help in locating four suspects and a vehicle that they believe are connected to an armed robbery in Southwest earlier this week.

Surveillance video captured the suspects in the 600 block of Wharf Street SW shortly before 11 p.m. Monday, where they got out of a black sedan with handguns drawn, while the driver of the car remained in their seat.

The four suspects demanded property from victims, the victims complied and the suspects fled with their property and money, according to a news release from D.C. police.

Anyone with information on the suspects or the vehicle, or with knowledge of the incident, is asked to call police at (202) 727-9099 or text a tip to 50411.

Below is a map of the approximate area where the robbery took place:

Washington crime stats system experienced a ‘systemic breakdown’ of internal controls, report says

Metropolitan Police Department's crime statistics collection experienced a “prolonged, systemic breakdown of its internal control system,” according to a report released Tuesday by the city’s inspector general, which reviewed the department's process after accusations by the federal government that figures were manipulated. The investigation, requested in December by Mayor Muriel Bowser, reviewed MPD crime data from 2015 through 2025. While the report did not indicate any fraud or intentionality in the flaws in the crime stats collection, it recommended a series of steps meant to ensure accuracy in the data gathering going forward.
