Police: Serial Burglary Suspects Linked to Six Vienna Homes

Three people accused of launching a burglary spree across Vienna and two other jurisdictions have been linked to at least six reported robberies in town, police said Thursday — three of them in the span of just more than 10 hours.

A day after Craig Hopta, 29, Michael Lewis, 29 and Diana Seaborn, 34, all of Maryland, were arrested by Fairfax County police on burglary and larceny charges, among others, Vienna Police said they believe the trio is responsible for also taking items from half a dozen Vienna homes.

More charges could be coming as Fairfax County, Vienna and Falls Church police continue their investigation.

Vienna Police said the suspects allegedly robbed the following locations (see locations in the map above):

• 200 Block Courthouse Circle, SW | April 26 between 8:45 a.m. and 6:21 p.m.
• 400 Block Holmes Drive, NW | May 10 between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
• 600 Block Yeonas Drive, SW | May 10 between 8:00 a.m. and 6:44 p.m.
• 200 Block Berry Street, SE | May 10 between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
• 300 Block Broadleaf Drive, NE| May 13 between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
• 600 Block John Marshall Drive, NE |May 13 between 8:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.

The suspects were discovered Monday as Fairfax County police investigated a number of burglaries in McLean — including 10 burglaries that occurred in six hours May 4.It's unclear how many homes in all were targeted by the suspects.

During the suspects' crime spree, they allegedly lifted thousands of dollars worth of jewelery, handbags, electronics, silverware and cash, Fairfax County police said.

In a Vienna police report released Thursday, the department did not disclose what was taken from each home, but all of the homes were apparently burglarized through a smashed window.

The earliest robbery occurred April 26; the latest was reported on May 13, hours before the suspects were arrested in McLean. All of them allegedly occurred during daylight hours.
