Armed Suspects Targeting Victims on Offer Up App Arrested in Sting Operation

Tyrone Strickland Jr.

Andre Speller

The Prince George's County Police Department recently conducted a sting operation that led to the arrest of two suspects who targeted their victims through the Offer Up app. The suspects are 22-year-old Tyrone Strickland Jr. of the 7700 block of Starboard Drive in Capitol Heights and 36-year-old Andre Speller of the 5300 block of Doppler Street in Capitol Heights.

On February 16th, several divisions within the PGPD, assisted by two outside agencies, conducted an operation to arrest the two men wanted for an armed robbery of a victim on February 6th in Capitol Heights. In that case, two teenage victims were robbed of cash after connecting with a seller on Offer Up. The victims from Anne Arundel County drove to Abel Avenue after seeing a post for a dirt bike. When they arrived, the two suspects pulled out guns and robbed the victims.

 

During the sting operation, detectives with our Regional Investigation Division - Central Region - arranged to buy another dirt bike posted by the suspects. When the suspects arrived to the meeting location, again on Abel Avenue, they were arrested. One of the suspects was carrying a handgun with an extended magazine.

Criminals are misusing the popular classified ad app, using it to lure victims into potentially dangerous situations. We are investigating at least seven such cases in our county in recent months. The Prince George's County Police Department urges anyone who uses any type of classified ad to follow these safety tips:

*Never go alone to the transaction location. Always try to bring a second person with you. 

*It's best to talk to potential seller or buyer on the phone. Do not communicate only through an app or online.

*Only meet a potential buyer or seller in a public place - like a shopping center.

*Trust your instincts. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

*Unless the item is too large to bring out of your home, never invite a buyer to your home. 

Anyone with information on any of these cases is urged to call the Regional Investigation Division (Central) at (301) 772-4911. Callers can remain anonymous by calling CRIME SOLVERS at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). You may also text “PGPD plus your tips” to CRIMES (274537) on your cell phone or gowww.pgcrimesolvers.com and submit a tip online. Crime Solvers is offering a CASH REWARD of up to $25,000 for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment.

Elementary School Volunteer/Community Choir Director Arrested for Producing Child Pornography & Child Sex Abuse

Detectives Urge Possible Additional Victims to Come Forward

Deonte Carraway

Update February 13, 2016:  Through the course of our investigation, we have learned Deonte Carraway victimized a child at Zion Praise Tabernacle Lutheran Church on Laurel Bowie Road in Bowie. Additionally, we have now determined there are 16 victims in this case. As our detectives continue working this case, we will update the community only when we learn of any additional locations where abuse took place, uncover substantial developments or place any additional charges in the case.

The Prince George’s County Police Department arrested a Glenarden man for child sexual abuse and producing child pornography. The suspect is 22-year-old Deonte Carraway of the 7900 block of Glenarden Parkway. The preliminary investigation reveals the suspect targeted victims and videotaped sexual acts between minors during the school day at Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary School in Glenarden. Detectives believe sex abuse and/or child pornography was also produced at the Glenarden Municipal Center, Theresa Banks Memorial Aquatic Center as well as in private homes. 

Carraway was a paid assistant at the elementary school during the 2014-2015 school year. He was a volunteer teacher’s assistant during the current school year. Carraway was also the director for the Glenarden Voices of Youth Choir.

On February 4, 2016, at 7:00 pm, a victim’s relative called police after discovering a nude photo on the child’s cell phone. That photo had been electronically sent to Carraway through the “Kik” messenger app. On February 5^th, Prince George’s County Police detectives interviewed and arrested Carraway. Throughout the weekend, detectives began unravelling what is turning into a wide-ranging investigation. Preliminarily, detectives have identified at least 10 known victims ranging in age from 9-13. Detectives so far have uncovered approximately 40 videos showing the young victims performing sexual acts on each other or alone at the direction of Carraway.  They also believe Carraway sexually abused some of the victims. 

Carraway is charged with 10 counts of felony child pornography, sexual abuse of a minor and second degree sexual offense. Additional charges are likely. Carraway has admitted his involvement in the manufacturing and production of child pornography. He’s in the custody of the Department of Corrections on a one-million-dollar bond. The Prince George’s County Police Department is working closely with Dr. Kevin Maxwell, the Superintendent of the Prince George’s County Public Schools System, regarding this ongoing investigation.

If you’re concerned a child has been a victim, please call our Child and Vulnerable Adult Abuse Unit at 301-772-4930. We anticipate this investigation will last several months. As significant updates occur, we will inform our community.
