Reston Police District – A community connection made during this year’s National Night Out (NNO) helped Reston detectives identify a suspect now linked to multiple burglaries and vehicle-related thefts, resulting in 18 criminal charges and the recovery of a stolen firearm.
Detectives from our Criminal Investigations Division (CID) attended NNO events throughout Reston on August 4. After speaking with a detective at one of the events, a community member later provided video showing a man entering an unlocked vehicle.
Detectives identified the suspect as Junior Gonzales-Coello, 31, of no fixed address. As the investigation continued, detectives linked Gonzales-Coello to similar incidents in the Reston Police District and obtained warrants for his arrest.
On August 18 at approximately 2 a.m., Reston patrol officers located Gonzales-Coello behind a building in the 11900 block of Bowman Towne Drive and took him into custody.
During the arrest, officers recovered an AR-15-style rifle and magazines among Gonzales-Coello’s belongings. Detectives determined the firearm had been stolen approximately one hour earlier after Gonzales-Coello entered a vehicle and an open garage in the 1900 block of Crescent Park Drive.
Gonzales-Coello was taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where he was charged with four counts of Vehicle Trespass, three counts of Burglary, three counts of Grand Larceny, two counts of Vehicle Tampering, two counts of Petit Larceny, two counts of Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Larceny from a Motor Vehicle, and Possession of a Schedule I/II Drug. Five outstanding warrants from another jurisdiction were also served. He was held on no bond.
