Woodbridge Crime: Man Robbed from Vehicle on Telegraph Road

Police are looking for man that allegedly robbed a driver at the intersection behind on Tuesday morning.

Police reports said a 48-year-old Woodbridge man was driving in the area of Telegraph Road and Morse Lane when he stopped to make a turn.

“As he was stopped, the victim stated he was then approached by an unknown man, who exited the passenger side of a vehicle parked on the nearby shoulder,” said Prince William County Police Public Information Officer Jonathan Perok of the robbery. “The man initially asked the victim for directions but then brandished a handgun an demanded money.”

The man allegedly took money from the victim, ran back to the vehicle and fled the area. Police said the victim was only able to provide a description for the passenger that approached him. The driver of an older model, light blue two-door sedan never exited the vehicle.

The man is described as a black male, between 23 and 28-years-old, 5-foot-11-inches, 160 pounds of thin build with short black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a light blue jacket and blue jeans.
