On February 26, officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle in the 1600 block of Wilson Boulevard. The suspect allegedly entered a parked car, tampered with the ignition, and drove away. Police later located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop near N. Nash Street and Wilson Boulevard. A stolen construction ladder and burglary tools were found inside. Robert Fleming, 49, of Fairfax, was arrested and charged with grand larceny auto, possession of burglarious tools, petit larceny, and driving without a license.
On February 28, police were called to a bus stop in the 900 block of S. Buchanan Street for an attempted robbery. The male victim reported being assaulted by a female suspect who tried to steal his wallet before fleeing on foot.

On March 2, officers responded to a robbery report in the 1100 block of S. Hayes Street. Three juvenile victims stated they were approached by two suspects who brandished what appeared to be firearms, demanded property, and fled with a stolen jacket and hoodie. The suspects were described as Black males in their teens, with one wearing all black clothing and the other in a black and gray puffer coat and black pants. No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
Later that evening, police were again dispatched to the 1100 block of S. Hayes Street for a brandishing incident. A male suspect allegedly concealed merchandise and exited a store without payment. When confronted by an employee, the suspect lifted his jacket to display what appeared to be a firearm handle in his waistband before fleeing on foot.

On March 2 at approximately 10:20 p.m., officers responded to a malicious wounding incident in the 3500 block of Wilson Boulevard.
