There’s good news for residents of Georgetown. District police says the two men wanted in connection with three robberies are now in a Maryland jail on unrelated charges. The armed robberies took place between April 11, 12 and 17 in the area between 27th and 31st, and N and Q Streets in Northwest. In two cases the assailants had a gun.

Second District police sent an e-mail yesterday warning women not to walk alone in the area and always surrender all property when confronted by a robber. They also remind that anyone who’s been mugged should immediately call police, cancel all credit cards lost and counter-intuitively, not cut off cell phone service. MPD may be able to use records of calls made by the thief in their investigation.

Even with these suspects in custody, it’s important to remember to be alert while walking at night even in neighborhoods you perceive as safe.
