Again?! Car Crashes Into Bank at Bradlee Shopping Center
In the past year, the shopping center has seen cars smash into a bank, the Hallmark store and the Starbucks.

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- A car smashed into the front of the Capital One Bank Tuesday at Bradlee Shopping Center in Alexandria.
If that sounds familiar, it's because a car smashed into the front of the Hallmark Store May 20 at Bradlee Shopping Center.
Last summer, a car smashed into the Starbucks at Bradlee. Before that, a car smashed into the former Foot Solutions shoe store at Bradlee Shopping Center.
