We’ve noted recently that the Metro system has seen a big spike in robberies over the last year, with the most cases reported in Metro’s parking lots and garages, especially at stations at the end of the lines. So it’s not surprising that Metro Transit Police proudly announced today that they apprehended two suspects observed breaking into cars at the Branch Avenue station yesterday morning. Two men, Lawrence White, 23, and Dante Robbins, 22, both of Oxon Hill, Md., have been charged with auto theft, theft from auto and destruction of property after they attempted to flee from Transit Police and crashed what turned out to be a stolen vehicle. They’re also facing a charge of assault on a police officer after police say they tried to hit an officer with the vehicle.
