According to CM Charles Allen, MPD has made an arrest in the January 28 robbery of the Lincoln Park Cleaning Emporium.  Allen says DNA testing on a mask the robber dropped at the scene of the robbery led to the arrest.  He is currently being held in custody.  See CHC January story here:  https://bit.ly/34nFLXW

Last Tuesday evening at 5:30pm, two individuals were arrested after crashing an allegedly stolen car in front of 156 12th Street, SE – one block south of where multiple law enforcement agencies were setting up for MPD’s National Night Out.
The Ward 6 ANC candidate list portends major changes in as most current commissions in the four ANCs on or bordering Capitol Hill appear to not be seeking reelection.  There are 31 seats in those four ANCs and currently it appears that only 12 incumbents are running for reelection.  Thirty-nine potential candidates (listed below) have picked up nominating petitions from the DC Board of Elections, (including the 12 incumbents).  No one has picked up a petition for 6D04 and petitions must be filed by August 10.  There’s still time.  CM Charles Allen tells you how to jump into the race here:  https://bit.ly/3zLdirg
