Attempted Robbery in Reston
A 34-year-old Reston woman and a 61-year-old Sterling man working as clerks at the 7-Eleven store located at 2203 Soapstone Drive were robbed. A man entered the store shortly after 11 p.m. on Tuesday, January 6, produced a handgun and demanded money. Before the clerks could respond, a customer drove into the parking lot and the would-be thief fled without taking anything. The victims were not injured.
The suspect was described as black, 5 feet 2 to 5 feet 5, with a thin build. He was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and a black mask covering his face.
