West Springfield Police District – A Washington, D.C. man has been arrested for his involvement in the April 29 burglary of Dominion Defense gun store.

Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau, Criminal Investigations Division, identified Victor Jones, 22, as the second of the four suspects involved in the burglary. Detectives obtained warrants for burglary while armed with a deadly weapon and grand larceny of a firearm. On June 20, Jones was extradited from Maryland to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and is being held on no bond.

The burglary occurred on Saturday, Apr. 29, between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. at Dominion Defense, 7200 Fullerton Road, Springfield. Jones and three other masked men were seen on security footage working together to gain entry into the business through a small opening above the door. The men stole 53 firearms, which were a combination of long guns and handguns. The suspects left in a gray Acura four-door sedan with no front license plate. 

To date, through the cooperative efforts between our law enforcement partners in the National Capital Region, 15 out of 53 guns stolen in the burglary have been recovered.
