London Teeter, a 21-year-old resident of Washington D.C., has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for her involvement in a series of inside-job robberies at the Chinatown Walgreens where she was employed as a store manager. The announcement came from United States Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr., FBI Special Agent in Charge Sean Ryan of the Washington Field Office Criminal and Cyber Division, and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Teeter admitted guilt to one count of conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by robbery under the Hobbs Act. Judge Jia M. Cobb has scheduled her sentencing for June 12, 2025. She faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine that could reach $250,000.
Court documents reveal that Teeter and three co-conspirators orchestrated armed robberies at the Walgreens location nearly every month starting in July 2023 when either she or an accomplice was on duty. Utilizing her knowledge as a store manager about cash transfer timings, Teeter facilitated access for masked gunmen who would rob employees and escape through a rear exit. The conspirators alternated roles as "victim" managers during these incidents to ensure their actions were captured on surveillance footage.
The seven robberies took place on various dates between July 18, 2023, and February 11, 2024. In response to these crimes, the store hired armed Special Police Officers for protection; however, during two incidents on December 4, 2023, and February 11, 2024, co-conspirators managed to disarm these officers.
In her plea agreement, Teeter confessed that she and her associates stole at least $28,983 from the store. She also acknowledged reviewing surveillance footage from one robbery where an accomplice placed his firearm on a chair momentarily—a lapse she criticized via text message saying: “the vid looks so bad,” “idk why he put the gun down,” and “he can’t do it next time [not gonna lie].”
Teeter was arrested on February 22, 2024; authorities found a loaded Glock pistol at her residence during their search preceding her arrest.
Pending trial dates remain for co-conspirators Michael Robinson (34), Kamanye Williams (25), and Gianni Robinson (27). The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force with help from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Justin F. Song and Sarah Martin along with Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Monica Svetoslavov of the Federal Major Crimes Section.
