A suspect has been arrested in the attempted robbery of a Pret A Manger location at the corner of 19th and L streets, Northwest.

In a press conference today, police chief Cathy Lanier said 19-year-old Elijah Warren is in police custody after being apprehended in the 3000 block of Stanton Road with a “distinct” firearm that matches the one used to assault a Pret employee during the robbery.

At 8:10 last night, three men dressed in white shirts with maroon markings, black pants, and shoes entered the cafe, brandished the firearm, and announced the robbery. The weapon was used to strike the employee, and triggered it to fire. No one, including the one customer still present at the approaching closing time, was shot, though the remaining two suspects are still at large.

While the police can’t yet confirm why the criminals were in unique matching dress, the description is similar to the uniforms Pret employees are required to wear. The location is also unusual, though Lanier remarked that overall robberies are up in the District by 9 percent as of last year. Stay tuned for developments.
