AUTO THEFT - ADVISORY: The Howard University Department of Public Safety (HUDPS), in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), is investigating a reported stolen vehicle that occurred sometime between January 10 and January 12 from the Banneker parking lot. The vehicle is described as a black, 2016 Toyota four-door Rav 4 with New Jersey license plates #T89NTW. A lookout has not yet been established in this investigation. HUDPS and MPD are soliciting the support of the public in providing any information pertaining to the location of the vehicle or potential suspects.

The specific plate number, T89NTW, and vehicle description are drawn from the Howard DPS advisory as indexed in search results; the literal formatting could not be independently confirmed because the source page could not be fully retrieved in this session
The Banneker parking lot sits near the Banneker Community Center on Georgia Avenue NW, the same general corridor where a separate armed robbery was reported at Howard's Banneker Center seventeen days later on January 27, 2025, a different, already-documented incident in this archive
Classified as an advisory rather than a Timely Warning, consistent with Howard DPS's own labeling of this notice, since a completed theft with no continuing on-campus threat does not always meet the higher Clery bar
