Two males were caught and arrested Thursday night at around 7:30 p.m. after they stole a cell phone from a GW graduate student in the Foggy Bottom Metro station.
The female student said a group of people stole her phone from her hand and ran out of the Metro station. A Metropolitan Police Department officer said the student could only identify two of the thieves.
“I was getting on the Metro and a guy with his friends, I don’t know who, snatched my phone out of my hand,” the student said.
The MPD officer caught two of the suspects in the 7-11 behind the GW Hospital, but they did not have the phone on them. The officer said they threw the phone during the chase down the I Street mall.
A Group of people???? I don’t understand how that happens? I do feel bad that happened. . . when are people going to start being aware of their surroundings??? People target certain people to mug. .
