UPS workers held at gunpoint in Northeast DC while making deliveries - Fox 5

A UPS delivery van driver says he was completing a delivery in Northeast D.C. when an armed suspect brandished a handgun and grabbed packages from the van, according to Metropolitan Police.

Officers responded to a call at 333 16th St. NE where an armed robbery had been reported. Two victims on the scene, both of whom work for UPS, say they were stopped to make a delivery and were standing at the back of the van.

One of the workers says a black sedan then stopped and angled itself next to the UPS van. They say one of the suspects produced a black handgun.

That’s a bad part of the city. No way would I want a route there. I think there’s a big housing project near there.

I think anything that is more than a block or 2 off the Mall is a "bad part of the city".

When I cross the bridge...

Fedex always has a cop trailing them until they complete the area.

You obviously haven’t been to NW DC, nor have you been there in years.

Nothing about the suspects description? I'm thinking they looked like Swedish Lumberjacks.

SE is what everyone thinks of as the hood, but even that's not all bad.

I would probably go almost everywhere in DC in the daytime. At night though, not as much.

We tape job applications in the side windows of our pc and no one even gets close once they see the words "hiring workers" at the top of the page.
