Arlington County police are investigating an armed robbery in the Barcroft neighborhood involving a group of teens.
It happened Thursday night on the 900 block of S. Buchanan Street, just north of Columbia Pike.
“The juvenile male victim was walking in the area when a vehicle pulled up beside him,” said today’s ACPD crime report. “The occupants of the vehicle all got out, chased the victim and demanded his shoes. One suspect brandished what appeared to be a firearm. The suspects stole the victim’s shoes and backpack before fleeing the scene in their vehicle described as a blue sedan.”
No injuries were reported, according to police
“The suspects are described as 5-6 juvenile males in their teens, wearing all black and face coverings,” police said. “The investigation is ongoing.”
Also in the crime report, a D.C. woman is facing multiple charges after police say she assaulted officers who were detaining a boy for fare evasion at the Pentagon City Metro station Saturday evening.
