On March 1st at approximately 9:30 p.m., units responded to the 6700 block of Allegheny Avenue for reports of a car jacking and strong armed robbery. The victim left his vehicle running while he was delivering a food order. As he was returning to his vehicle, he noticed that a white Dodge minivan that had driven past before had since backed up to his vehicle. Two black males exited the van and got into the victim’s vehicle. In an attempt to prevent his car from being taken, the victim grabbed at one of the suspects who was in the driver’s set. The suspect put the vehicle in reverse causing the victim to fall away from the vehicle to the ground. The suspects fled the scene in the victim’s 2006 black Honda Civic down Allegheny Avenue towards Second Avenue. The victim sustained minor injuries. Property was taken. The white Dodge minivan was impounded as it was listed as stolen through Prince George’s County. The suspects are described as two black males, both wearing black winter coats and black pants. Investigation continues under case #08012461. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to please call us at 301-270-1100.
