Reston Police District – Detectives from our Criminal Investigations Division have released a composite sketch and are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect involved in a robbery that occurred in Reston.
On June 20, at 2:44 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of Parcher Avenue and Springer Drive in Reston for a robbery. A woman was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was driving when the suspect approached her at the intersection. The suspect yelled at her, prompting her to pull over and roll her window down. After a brief conversation, the suspect demanded money and threatened to harm her family. He then reached into the driver’s side window and forcibly took money from the victim’s hand. The suspect fled before police arrival. The victim was not injured, and she did not know the suspect.
The victim described the suspect as a dark-skinned black male with long dreads. A composite sketch of the suspect can be seen below.
