Detectives Asking for Public’s Help in Identifying Bank Robbery Suspect

Posted on by

Mason District Station – Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau are investigating a bank robbery at the Suntrust Bank, located inside the Safeway at 5821 Crossroads Center, in the Bailey’s Crossroads area of Fairfax County.  Just before 7 p.m. last night, a man entered the bank, implied he had a weapon, and demanded money. He was given cash before leaving the bank on foot. No one was injured. Our officers arrived on scene within minutes of the call and thoroughly searched the area. The suspect is described as a light-skinned black man, approximately 5’ 10”, slim build, wearing reflective sunglasses, a fake long beard, and a gray hooded sweatshirt.
