Crime Solvers Seeks Man Wanted for Burglaries

Fairfax County Crime Solvers is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 43-year-old Patrick Nichols. Nichols is currently wanted by police on two counts of burglary and two counts of petit larceny. These charges stem from two commercial burglaries that occurred between February and March in the 3100 block of Fairview Park Drive in the Falls Church area. In each burglary, business checks were taken.


Nichols is black, about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. He also goes by the alias of Patrick Ranson. He is believed to frequent the Washington, D.C. area.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Patrick Nichols is asked to contact Fairfax County Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477, e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or by texting “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.
