Dear Neighbors, Here is the explanation of why Fairfax County police cars and the police helicopter flooded the area around Anderson Road and Colshire Drive near the Safeway shortly after 4pm Monday:

Fairfax County Police gave this account: Falls Church Police Department  followed a stolen car into Fairfax County where we then assisted.

The search for the driver and recovery of the car took place in the 7500 block of Colshire Drive. On the helicopter, we were looking for a driver of a stolen car.  The car was recovered, but unfortunately, we did not locate the driver, a spokesperson for the police said.

Fairfax police said they had no information on where where the car was stolen from, the kind of car, when it was reported stolen or any damage because the  Falls Church police had that info. since it's their case.
