Police made an arrest after two people allegedly walked into a Trader Joe's in Northwest D.C. before one of them stole a wine bottle and then used a crossbow to threaten a worker who confronted them.
According to a police report, just before 1 p.m. Sunday, a store employee at the Trader Joe’s located on the 1900 block of 14th Street NW saw one of the suspects conceal a wine bottle inside a red bag. That suspect then exited the store without paying for the item, police said.
When the store worker confronted them outside the establishment, the suspect pulled out a black crossbow and pointed it at the employee, the police report said.
