At this time, there is no indication the cases are connected. Carjackings are a concern for our agency and agencies across the region. Our Carjacking Interdiction Unit and the Washington Area Vehicle Enforcement Team (WAVE) is working around the clock to identify those who would commit this violent crime and has made more arrests this year than in 2021. As of December 14, 2022, there have been 89 adult arrests and 104 juvenile arrests. That compares to 69 adult arrests and 79 juvenile arrests at the same time in 2021.
