Kidnapping Ambush With High-End Thefts In Fairfax County Leads To Sentence

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — A man was sentenced in D.C. court Friday for his role in a kidnapping and high-end robbery of two victims at an Alexandria address in Fairfax County.

Robbie Terrell Clark, 27, of Washington, D.C., will serve 108 months in federal prison in relation to the September 2022 kidnapping and robbery. Clark had pleaded guilty in May 2024 to one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping. The judge ordered Clark to serve four years of supervised release following prison.

According to prosecutors, Clark and co-conspirators had stalked the two victims before the September 2022 crime. On Sept. 2, 2022, they put a GPS tracking device on one victim's car. The next day, the victims attended a family gathering in Maryland. Meanwhile, the co-conspirators used a stolen car to wait with zip ties and guns at the victims' apartment building at an Alexandria address in Fairfax County.

When the victims came home, Clark and co-conspirators ambushed them in the parking garage, stealing two Audemars Piguet watches worth $120,000, $63,500 in jewelry, clothing, and the keys to one victim’s Mercedes. Prosecutors say the victims were pistol-whipped during the robbery before being led into one of the victims' apartments. Inside, the co-conspirators held the victims at gunpoint, ransacked the apartment and demanded money. A security alarm led them to flee without finding money before 2 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2022.

Police found the stolen Mercedes hours later in Maryland with the tracking device still present. Clark was identified as a suspect during the investigation and was arrested on Aug. 16, 2023 in D.C.

Another co-conspirator, Tyree McCombs, pleaded guilty in August 2024 to charges of conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by robbery and a kidnapping charge tied to an offense two months later. McCombs has yet to be sentenced.
