Crime Solvers Seeks Suspects in Car Thefts
 

Fairfax County Crime Solvers is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying and locating the persons responsible for stealing two cars in the McLean area and intentionally damaging them. Police were called to a home in the 1800 block of Great Falls Street around 5:20 a.m. on Monday, June 16, for the stolen cars. An investigation determined the suspects broke into a 2008 Smart fortwo car during the overnight hours the evening before. Inside, they located keys to the Smart car and also a 2000 Lexus RX300, parked at the same residence. The vehicle owners, a 60-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man, called police when they discovered the cars missing.

Officers located the Smart car later that same day in the McLean area. The car had extensive damage that appeared intentional. The Lexus was recovered in the Reston area on Saturday, June 21. It, too, had extensive damage. Detectives would like to hear from anyone who may know the suspects responsible for these vehicle thefts.

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.
