Police Log: Police Close Months-Long Grand Larceny Case At Westwood

The following arrest information was supplied by the Vienna Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

Police served two warrants last week in connection with a grand larceny case reported in May at the Westwood Country Club – both of them to subjects already incarcerated at Fairfax and Loudoun County jails for other crimes.

On May 19, employees at the club reported a parked vehicle that appeared broken into. After investigating, the owner of the car discovered her passenger side window had been smashed out in order to steal a purse from inside her car, which was plainly visible from the window. The woman found her credit cards had been used fraudulently in several locations.

With further investigation in the months that followed, Vienna Police Detective Elias and detectives from the Fairfax County Police Department found the same suspects involved in this Vienna incident were also responsible for similar incidents in Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun Counties as well.
