Fortunately for DC residents, help is on the way… sort of. And it comes courtesy of DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and taxpayers and is for only a certain kind of car:According to MPD’s own reporting, D.C. is seeing on average more than one carjacking per day this year. The latest report on the MPD Carjacking Dashboard shows 82 carjackings in 2023 as of Feb. 22. The department says they’ve closed 14 of the cases. They report just eight arrests. Some suspects are charged in more than one.
While MPD reports overall carjackings are down about 15% in 2023, the number of arrests is also down compared to last year, according to the department’s dashboard.
“It’s ridiculous,” Lisa, a recent carjacking victim, told the I-Team in reaction to the low number of arrests.
