Police Report: May 4-6

May 4th:

4100 block of Russell Avenue: At about 7:10 am officers took a report of a theft from auto. The victim/owner showed the officers where someone was able to get into her 1994 Honda Accord and steal the car’s stereo. The officers found no clear point of entry into the car and no additional evidence or witnesses could be found.

3249 Rhode Island Avenue: At about 10 am an individual came into the police station to surrender on an open arrest warrant issued by the DC court system. The warrant was confirmed through DC and he was delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville without incident.

May 5th:

4100 block of Russell Avenue: At about 12:20 am officers responded for the report of a citizen robbery. The female victim told the officers that she and her boyfriend were robbed at gunpoint while standing outside talking with one another. She said that the suspect made both of them put their hands on a parked car as he went through her boyfriend’s pockets stealing several items of his personal property. The suspect then stole several items of her personal property that she had previously placed on the hood of the vehicle. She said that there was about a 15 minute delay from the time the suspect fled the scene until she was able to report the incident to the police. The male victim had left the scene prior to the officers’ arrival and was unable to be contacted. PGPD detectives responded to the scene to assume a follow-up investigation.

4600 block of 29th Street: At about 11:55 am officers received a call for a vandalism to auto. The reporting person told the officers that he saw an Hispanic male driving a blue Ford Explorer (Maryland tag 55X229) smash the window out of a parked vehicle. He said that when the driver saw him he immediately fled the area. A canvass of the area was conducted but the vehicle was not located. A follow-up investigation will be conducted to determine if the Explorer’s tag number leads to the suspect.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
