The assailants displayed a handgun and demanded the keys to the staffer&#8217;s vehicle. Following the incident, valuable items including a government-issued iPhone and MacBook were stolen, but the victim was not harmed. The vehicle was recovered the next day, at which point police arrested two juveniles; one of whom was charged with armed carjacking and the other with unauthorized use of a vehicle and firearm-related offenses. The Metropolitan Police Department is continuing to search for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >additional suspects involved<\/a> in the crime. This incident is part of a worrying trend in D.C., where an increased number of carjackings have been reported this year, many involving juveniles and firearms. The situation has prompted discussions about law enforcement and safety in the capital.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>One staff member of a Democratic member of Congress was the victim of an armed carjacking Friday in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>The staffer, who works for the office of Democratic Rep.
