The suspect, who is 18 now, was a teenager at the time of the carjackings.

WASHINGTON — DC Police have taken a suspect into custody in connection with three carjackings in Northeast, D.C. The 18-year-old man was a juvenile when he allegedly committed the offenses, therefore he will not be named.

Here's a look at all three carjackings:

On June 19, just before 3 p.m., two suspects walked up to the victim while they stood outside their car on Minnesota Avenue. The suspects pulled out guns, got into the victim's car and drove away.
On June 21, just after 9 p.m., the suspect walked up to a victim who was pumping gas on Benning Road. There, the suspect got into the victim's car and drove off.
On July 1, at 8 p.m., the suspect walked up in the victim, who was once again pumping gas on Hunt Place. He got into the victim's car and drove away.

Over a month later, investigators identified the suspect and placed him under arrest. One suspect in connection to the first reported carjacking is still at large.

Anyone who has knowledge of these carjackings should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for a violent crime committed in the District of Columbia.
