From MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department announces the arrest of a suspect in a kidnapping in Northwest, and multiple arrests for an unlawful entry offense also occurring at the location of the kidnapping.
On Thursday, December 12, 2024, at approximately 6:30 a.m., Fourth District officers responded to the 4000 block of Kansas Avenue, Northwest, to assist the US Marshals who were in the area searching for a wanted suspect. During the investigation, officers located 13 individuals inside of a residence. One of the individuals, an adult male, was found with broken zip ties on his arms and legs and injuries to his back and leg. The victim stated to officers that he was being held against his will. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The detectives’ investigation revealed that on Wednesday evening, December 11, the suspects kept the victim at the offense location, against his will and assaulted him throughout the evening. The suspects made several attempts to extort money from the victim and were unsuccessful. (more…)
