While car thefts have increased rapidly in the capital city of Washington DC this year, President Joe Biden’s granddaughter’s security vehicle was almost stolen by assailants.<\/p>\n
According to the Associated Press on the 13th, agents protecting President Biden’s granddaughter Naomi Biden fired guns after discovering three gunmen trying to force open the door of a security vehicle around midnight the night before. The unmarked security SUV was parked, and no one was in it.<\/p>\n
The security guards saw three gunmen breaking the window of the SUV, and one security guard fired a gun, but no one was hit, the security office said in a statement. The security office explained that there was no threat to the person being protected. The three gunmen fled.<\/p>\n
AP reported that bodyguards were with Naomi during her visit to Georgetown in Washington, DC. Georgetown is a popular shopping area and wealthy neighbourhood, and is considered a safe neighbourhood in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n
This year in Washington DC, incidents of car theft or breaking car windows and stealing items from cars have increased significantly. There have been about 6,100 vehicle thefts so far this year, double the number of last years, and more than 750 cases of carjacking, where a car is forcibly taken even when the driver is present, have been reported.<\/p>\n
Last month, Rep. Henry Cuellar’s car was stolen by gun-toting robbers, and on the 10th, a police car with police markings was stolen from a university. As vehicle thefts soared, the city and police announced on the 1st that they would provide Apple Air Tag, a lost-and-found tracking device, to residents in areas where crime has rapidly increased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
