Arrest made in string of Lululemon store thefts; police investigate additional robbery

WASHINGTON - D.C. police say a man is in custody in connection to a string of retail thefts at Lululemon stores in the District as detectives release new surveillance images they say show suspects in an additional robbery reported at one of the athletic apparel company's locations.

Authorities say they arrested 23-year-old Avante Demarco Greene during a traffic stop early Friday. They say officers were conducting a stop on a vehicle that matched the description of one tied to numerous retail theft cases. During the stop, officers matched a picture of a suspect in those cases to Greene.

Police say Greene is connected to robberies at stores on F Street and M Street that happened between July 10 and 16. He faces theft charges in each of those cases.

Police have also released a new surveillance image of suspects they say stole merchandise from a Lululemon store on 14th Street last Saturday. The image show the suspects and their vehicle, described as a silver Mitsubishi SUV with Maryland Tag 5EP8455.

Police say after the Saturday robbery, the store was targeted again this past Wednesday. Lululemon stores in Georgetown and Penn Quarter were also robbed on Wednesday.

Anyone who can identify the remaining suspects and/or the vehicle is asked to call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.

It is still unclear if all of these cases are connected. The Lululemon store on 14th Street is closing on Sunday. However the company won't confirm if the closure is crime-related.
