Avante Greene, 23, Gets 60 Months for Lululemon Burglaries
In a brazen crime spree, Avante Greene, 23, of Washington, D.C., targeted Lululemon stores in Northwest Washington, stealing over $10,000 in merchandise. Greene’s sentence of 60 months in prison was handed down by Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld.
Greene pleaded guilty on October 31, 2024, to three counts of attempted second-degree burglary. He was arrested on July 19, 2024, while driving a getaway vehicle after his third burglary.
According to the government’s evidence, Greene’s burglaries occurred on July 10, 2024, July 12, 2024, and July 16, 2024. In each case, Greene carried empty bags into the store and filled them with merchandise before fleeing in a getaway car.
U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department commended the work of those who investigated the case. They also expressed appreciation for the efforts of Assistant U.S. Attorney Katelyn Benton who investigated and prosecuted the case.
Greene’s sentence includes one year of supervised probation in addition to the 60-month prison term. He has been in custody since his arrest on July 19, 2024.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our communities from brazen crimes like burglary. The Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work together to ensure that those who commit these crimes are held accountable.
Avante Greene’s case has been closely watched by local business owners and residents, who are relieved that justice has been served. The Lululemon stores targeted by Greene have since increased security measures to prevent similar crimes from occurring in the future.
