Rod
Wave
made
a
recent
stop
on
his
tour
in
Washington,
D.C.
and
a
tweet
claiming
that
hundreds
of
vehicles
were
broken
into
went
viral.
It
has
since
come
out
that
there
were
way
fewer
than
the
reported
break-ins
that
occurred
during
that
night
according
to
local
police
reports.
Rod
Wave
is
currently
on
his
35-city
Nostalgia
tour
and
made
a
stop
in
Washington
to
perform
at
the
Capital
One
Arena
in
the
city’s
Chinatown
section
this
past
Sunday
(November
12.
An
X
user
by
the
name
of
@clothes_mindedx
made
an
explosive
claim
that
232
cars
were
broken
into
in
the
area
where
the
concert
was
being
held
and
went
viral
in
the
process.
“[T]hey
broke
into
232
cars
at
the
Rod
Wave
concert
in
DC
last
night…
that’s
nasty,”
read
the
reply.
Larger
accounts
like
@SaycheeseDGTL
picked
up
the
tweet
and
shared
it
with
their
audiences,
prompting
a
flurry
of
responses
despite
no
official
record
coming
from
authorities
in
the
region.
As
seen
on
NewsOne,
independent
journalist
Alan
Henny
took
to
X
and
shared
his
findings
of
the
reported
break-ins.
From
Henny’s
account:
Police
officers
are
taking
numerous
reports
of
THEFTS
FROM
AUTOS
in
#DowntownDC
in
the
past
few
hours.
This
includes:
900
blk
H
St
NW,
800
I
St
NW,
600
F
St
NW,
600
E
St
NW,
600
Mass
Ave
NW,
600
H
St
NW.
Guns
were
stolen
from
two
autos.
NewsOne
adds
in
its
reporting
that
officials
from
the
Metropolitan
Police
Department
say
that
around
10
vehicles
were
broken
into
and
no
arrests
have
been
made.
Washington
has
seen
an
uptick
in
break-ins
and
theft,
along
with
a
rise
in
armed
and
unarmed
carjackings
often
attributed
to
area
youth.
The
city
is
also
on
pace
to
set
a
record
for
homicides,
prompting
Mayor
Muriel
Bowser
to
enact
emergency
operations
to
address
the
crime
across
the
city.
