Home surveillance footage showed a suspect stealing a bag from the victim’s vehicle in the garage and attempting to enter their residence four days earlier. Detectives from our Criminal Investigations Division responded and assumed the investigation.

On December 9, at 10:32 p.m., officers responded to the 1900 block of Horse Shoe Drive in Tysons for a trespassing.
