July 21st (early morning):
3200 block of Rhode Island Avenue: At about 1:15 am officers conducting a surveillance of the Thrifty Car Rental parking lot observed a black male described as about 50 years old wearing a red plaid shirt and blue pants walking on the lot carrying a large wheeled trash can. The officers tried to stop the man to investigate but he fled the area leaving the trash can behind. While conducting a follow-up investigation the officers discovered two gasoline containers inside the trash can and a passenger car that had gasoline stolen from it.
