Authorities Arrest 2 Attackers Who Broke into SUV of Biden’s Granddaughter
Wendell Husebø 23 Feb 2024
Authorities arrested two of the three alleged attackers who broke into a Secret Service SUV of President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, according to authorities and court documents.
The arrests represent seemingly rare cases in which authorities arrested suspects accused of crime. The timing of the arrests suggests the Biden administration recognizes soaring crime as a political vulnerability for the Democrat party.
Crime in the Democrat-controlled city spiked in 2023, according to police department data:
Homicides: Up 35 percent
Robberies: Up 67 percent
Violent Crime: Up 39 percent
Motor Vehicle Theft: Up 82 percent
The Washington Post reported the specifics of the first arrest, which occurred on February 14:
The arrests of 19-year-old Robert Kemp and the youth came after authorities said a D.C. police officer found the getaway car, a stolen red Toyota Corolla, abandoned in 16th Street Heights. Inside it were items taken from the Secret Service vehicle, including a protective vest, night-vision goggles, a first aid bag and a computer router. Authorities also found a McDonald’s bag and food receipt; the affidavit says fingerprints on the items led them to the arrests.
The U.S. Secret Service says in the affidavit that Kemp, who lives in Northwest Washington, was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle pertaining to the Corolla and theft in connection with the items taken from the Secret Service vehicle, a black Ford Expedition.
A charging document filed in court shows only the unauthorized-use charge, typically filed when authorities cannot prove a person linked to the vehicle is the same person who stole it. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. said she could not comment on charging decisions. Prosecutors can file additional charges as the investigation continues.

:silly: Yeah, no. The stoopid thieves simply had the bad luck of stealing from an elite.

The common citizen victimized by criminals in D.C. is on his own. Good luck.
