Adams Morgan: Crime on the Rise

A special "Crime Suppression Unit" has been called to the streets of DC's bar scene "Adams Morgan." In the past 30 days there have been over 30 violent crimes, including a double shooting that took place last week.

Police suspect the crimes are linked to rival teenage gangs...and report that the muggings and shooting aren't happening on the main strip of Adams Morgan, rather than the side alleys and walkways throughout.

Anyone that's been to Adams Morgan is familiar with these walk ways considering parking limitations.

So if your planning on visiting Adams Morgan, be sure to park in a parking garage or a well lit, high traffic area where violent acts are less likely to happen. Be safe, drink-up, think smart and walk fast :-)
