Responding officers observed the two suspects running from the scene. After a short foot pursuit, the officers arrested both juveniles – a 17-year-old male from Temple Hills and a 16-year-old male from Fort Washington. Both juveniles were each in possession of a loaded ghost gun. They are charged as adults with attempted armed carjacking and firearms offenses. They were transported to the Department of Corrections. 

In a separate case, on March 30, 2023, members of the PGPD’s Washington Area Vehicle Enforcement team located a carjacked vehicle in the area of Addison Road and Central Avenue. The vehicle had been carjacked at gunpoint on March 27, 2023, in the 7500 block of Marlboro Pike in Forestville. The officers stopped the vehicle and arrested the four juveniles inside. A loaded ghost gun was recovered in the vehicle. The suspects – all 15-year-old males from Washington, DC, are charged as juveniles with unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of a firearm.
