7-Eleven ATM Thieves Sought In Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA—Authorities are looking for three of four men who brazenly stole an ATM from a 7-Eleven at 4797 Darbydale Avenue early Tuesday and later tried to carjack a couple in the 14300 block of Westminster Lane, according to Prince William County Police.

The fourth man was found and arrested shortly after the two incidents. The other men are described as black and wearing hooded sweatshirts.

Shortly after 4 a.m., police went to the business for a reported burglary-in-progress. They found that a Ford truck backed through the front of the store, after which four men got out and loaded the ATM onto the bed of the truck. But when they sped away, it fell off the truck.

Then, around 4:20 a.m., police went to Westminster Lane for a reported carjacking. A woman told them four men tried to steal her vehicle and implied they had a weapon. But her husband intervened and they fled on foot. A K-9 unit and a Fairfax County police helicopter scoured the area, and one of the men was found and arrested.

The stolen ATM was recovered, and no injuries were reported. Anyone with information is urged to call police at 703-792-6500.
