Lifting Wallets and Not Weights: 2 Women Arrested for Gym Credit Card Larcenies

Posted on by

West Springfield Police District — Detectives from our Criminal Investigations Division have arrested two women in connection to a recent string of gym larcenies in Burke.

On January 25, officers received multiple reports of larcenies from the women’s locker room at OneLife Fitness, 9250 Old Keene Mill Rd in Burke. After the thefts, the victims credit cards were used at multiple stores, some of which were in the City of Fairfax.

Preliminarily, detectives investigated a total of five separate larceny reports from the same location with the same Modus Operandi (M.O) between Jan. 24-29. Utilizing surveillance footage and credit card transaction records, detectives identified the two suspects, Rayan Hassan, 25, of Annandale and Sumaya Mendez, 30, of Lorton.

Surveillance footage from multiple businesses captured both Hassan and Mendez using the stolen credit cards for purchases. Detectives determined Mendez held a gym membership at the location, and Hassan accompanied her as a guest.
