Two Arrested and Charged in String of T-Mobile Armed Robberies

WASHINGTON - Juwan Tyre Hall, 30, and Anthony Burno, 32, of the District of Columbia, were arrested Friday after being indicted on four counts of Interference with Interstate Commerce by Robbery after allegedly committing a string of armed robberies targeting T-Mobile stores across the District of Columbia and Maryland, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

According to court documents, between November 2025 and March 2026, Hall and Burno allegedly engaged in a series of armed robberies targeting six T-Mobile stores and one pawn shop, where they stole both money and devices out of safes in each location. The two men, dressed in black and wearing masks, entered stores brandishing a handgun, which they used to threaten customers and employees to cooperate. After stealing the contents of the safes, they would then flee the scene, often using a different stolen vehicle. After the robberies, Hall and Burno changed and disposed of their clothing and switched out their stolen vehicles for alternate vehicles.

Joining in the announcement was FBI Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox and Interim Chief Jeffery W. Carroll of the Metropolitan Police Department. 

This case is being investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office and the Metropolitan Police Department. The matter is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.

Charges in an Indictment are merely allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
