Police: More Burglaries at Asian Businesses

Three more break-ins at Asian establishments were reported, according to the Loudoun County’s Sheriff’s Office.

On the night of September 17th, an Indian restaurant, a Chinese takeout restaurant and a nail salon were all broken in to in the 45600 block W. Church Rd. in Sterling

Two cash registers were taken from two of the businesses and cash was taken from each business.

The burglaries are possibly related to burglaries that targeted similar locations in the Ashburn and Sterling areas.

The first break-in was reported on September 11th at the Good Fortune Chinese Restaurant in Junction Plaza in Ashburn, followed by similar burglaries at King’s Buffet in Sterling and Hunan Village Restaurant in Ashburn’s Piccadilly plaza. In all three burglaries, the suspect(s) entered by damaging the glass door and removing money from registers.

Last week, LCSO sent out an alert advising commercial businesses and restaurants to remove all monies from the cash register when the business is closed and leave the registers open to prevent further damage.

The LCSO also encourages residents and business owners to report all suspicious activity by calling 703-777-1021.

Anyone with any information regarding these burglaries is asked to call Detective M. Hall at 571-258-3043.
