Crime Solvers Seeks Suspects in Attempted Burglary

Fairfax County Crime Solvers is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two men responsible for attempting to burglarize a business in the Annandale area. A 48-year-old man was working inside the Potomac Computer and POS Systems business, located at 4209 Evergreen Lane, around 1:25 a.m. on Friday, March 11, when he heard the suspects enter the lobby area of the building and attempt to open his business door. The victim called out and the suspects fled from the building. The victim called police later that morning to report the incident. Further investigation determined the suspects were not able to gain entry to the inside of the business.

Surveillance cameras at the business captured the suspects and police are hopeful someone will recognize them. The suspects were described as white, 16 to 23 years old. One suspect was 130 to 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue or gray jacket. The second suspect was 150 to 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black jacket.   

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477), e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or text “TIP187” plus your message to CRIMES(274637). A $100 to $1,000 cash reward will be paid for information that leads to an arrest. As always, callers never have to give their names or appear in court.
