7-Eleven Burglars Sought after Using Truck to Enter Business

Posted on by

Mount Vernon Police District – Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau are asking community members to help identify four males involved in a commercial burglary that occurred on the morning of May 26.

Around 3:06 a.m., officers responded to the 7-Eleven at 5638 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway in Alexandria. Two males forcibly opened the store’s locked door. One of the males removed the victim from behind the counter and pushed him out of the store. While the clerk ran away to call for help, the other two suspects backed a black pickup truck through the front window of the store, knocking over the ATM inside. The suspects tried to pry the ATM open but were unsuccessful and left the store in the truck.
