MCLEAN, VA — Detectives from the Fairfax County Police Department arrested a 34-year-old Maryland man they say was responsible for 20 incidents of break-ins and larcenies involving vehicles parked in McLean since the beginning of the year, according to authorities.

In the first incident, officers responded around 5:40 a.m. on Jan. 5 to the Westbranch Drive and Westpark Drive intersection to investigate a destruction of property report, according to police.

During their investigation, the officers identified additional vehicles parked on neighboring streets that someone had broken into, police say. Items had also been stolen from some of the vehicles.

Through their investigation, detectives identified Marcus Robinson as a suspect in the case. With the help of the Maryland State Police, investigators took Robinson into custody on Wednesday after executing a search warrant at his home in Maryland, according to police. He is being held in the Prince George’s County Jail.

Once Robinson is extradited to Fairfax County, he will be charged with three counts each of felony credit card theft, credit card fraud, and destruction of property.
