Woman Encounters Thief in Her Home
West Springfield Police District - A home in the 9100 block of Wood Pointe Way was burglarized on Tuesday, April 28 at around 2 p.m. The resident of the home, a 52-year-old Fairfax Station woman, was in the shower at the time of the break-in. After exiting the shower, she noticed items in her bedroom were amiss and observed a man at the bottom of her stairs. He spoke to her then left the house. No one was injured. The victim reported an undisclosed amount of cash was missing from a wallet.
Earlier, a neighbor saw the suspect walk around the victim’s home, peer into windows and then climb through a window. He had also been seen walking in the neighborhood between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
The suspect is described as black, between 15 and 17 years old, around 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed between 140 to 160 pounds. He wore a white T-shirt, dark shorts and a blue backpack with a light stripe on it.
