The victim awoke early Wednesday to noises in the second-floor hallway of her Northwest Washington home, she told police. She stayed in bed, terrified, and within moments, an intruder entered her bedroom.
She kept her eyes shut, sensing the flicker of a flashlight. Then came the sound of someone rummaging through her belongings. For 10 more minutes, her home on Adams Street in Bloomingdale was ransacked before the burglar left and she felt safe to dial 911.
Police say they have made arrests in two waves of burglaries, in Bloomingdale and Trinidad, that have terrified residents in recent weeks. Break-ins were reported at nearly a dozen homes and businesses, and several were particularly unsettling because they occurred while residents were at home.
Detectives with the 5th Police District arrested Jonathan Robinson, 21, on Wednesday and charged him with first-degree burglary in five break-ins in Bloomingdale since June 2, including three in a two-block stretch of Adams Street. Investigators said Robinson hit three Bloomingdale houses in one night.
And on Thursday, officers arrested a youth after responding to a report of a commercial burglary in the 300 block of P Street NW.
