Three teenagers were arrested for 10 separate crimes, including carjackings and armed robberies, committed across the District on Friday, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. 

Two 15-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy face a list of charges for five armed carjackings, three armed robberies and other attempted robberies and carjackings.  

The crime spree began on Friday at around 3 a.m. in Southeast D.C. The teens then allegedly moved to Northwest and ended in Northeast just before 7 a.m. 

Several times the suspects allegedly brandished firearms and demanded money, property or for the victims to get out of their cars. Then they’d flee, sometimes in stolen cars, authorities said.
