“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to give a quick update on the peeping tom incident from last month. I saw the guy again last night and immediately called the cops. They came by, took a report, and within 30 minutes came by again to tell me they caught him.
So props to the cops and quick reminder that even if it feels silly to call something like this is in, in a city where there are drugs and homicides happening with such frequency, please still do. You don’t know what people’s intentions are and it lets cops know where they may need to increase their patrol.”

A reader reports:
“I saw the 7-ELEVEN sign all lit up in the former Remingtons space on Pennsylvania Ave SE. This is right around the corner from the rather notorious one on Barracks Row. I remember from reading about this about a year ago that they usually don’t open 7-11s so close to one another but apparently an exception was made.”

From Denise Krepp, ANC6B10 Commissioner:
“Crime is skyrocketing on Capitol Hill. Every morning we wake up to new police alerts regarding the thefts, assaults, and muggings that occurred the night before. Every day our iPhones ping with updates on the brazen robberies in neighborhoods across the city.
But you know what we don’t see? Prosecutions. The Department of Justice is responsible for prosecuting crimes in Washington, DC and they aren’t doing it. The prosecution rate for misdemeanors is 38%.
The Department of Justice will be at the Tuesday crime meeting hosted by Councilmember Charles Allen. The October 27th meeting is from 7-8:30pm at the Friendship Chamberlain Public Charter School (1345 Potomac Ave SE).
I encourage all of you to ask them the following questions about the crime and prosecution rates on Capitol Hill:
How many crimes have occurred on Capitol Hill in the past 2 years? Please provide specific information about each type – theft, assault, burglary, car-jacking, stabbing, rape, etc.
How many of these crimes have been prosecuted? Again, please break down this information by criminal act.
How many of the crimes have been resolved via plea deals? Please break down this information by criminal act.
Have many crimes have yet to be resolved?
In addition, you should ask them about their relationship with MPD. (more…)
