Subject: Robbery at 1 and 3 W Street NW
Good evening, I live on the unit block of W Street
NW. For the second time in less than a week a delivery man has been robbed on
my porch by an armed man.
What the suspect is doing is calling
for delivery from local restaurants (Olga & Manny, NY Pizza) and giving
them the address of 1 W Street NW (last Sunday robbery) and 3 W Street NW (tonight's robbery), when
the delivery person shows up for the delivery, no one answers the number
that called for the delivery. So the delivery person leaves the car and
proceeds to knock on the door of the address. At that time the suspect
comes from the corner of North Capital and W street and robs the delivery
person at gunpoint.
Myself and my neighbor never called
for delivery.... the suspect is giving an address and then robbing people when
they arrive.
The police said this is the 5th time
it has happened and like I said it happened to me and my neighbor within a
week. The police are having a hard time tracking the number because the
suspect is using Voice Over IP numbers, and the online company providing the
service is some small mom and pop shop overseas.
Can you please get the word out to
the Bloomingdale neighborhood to be weary of having delivery guys show up to
your house when you haven't ordered any delivery or you see deliveries to known
vacant properties? The delivery guy will get robbed.
DC offers up to a $500 reimbursement
for home security cameras as well. I wish I had one but after this week
we have one coming in the mail very soon.
Hope you can help with getting the
word out.
Mitch
