Arrests in Serial Burglaries
Sully
Police District – Three suspects have been charged in connection with a
series of burglaries targeting gold jewelry held primarily by South Asian
families in Fairfax County.
U.S.
Marshals working with the police burglary task force spotted a sport
utility vehicle with two men and a woman inside who fit the description
of suspects in the burglaries. They stopped the vehicle at Moore
Road and Clifton Road about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 10, 2009.
Subsequent
investigation by members of the burglary task force led to nine felony
charges against Francisco Gray, 39, of Nassau County, New York; Dagoberto
Soto-Ramirez, 27, and his wife, Melinda Soto, 33, both of Queens, New
York.
Each
is charged with four counts of burglary; four counts of grand larceny;
and one count of conspiracy to commit burglary. They are being held
without bond in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
Fairfax
County police executed a search warrant and searched the sport utility
vehicle the three suspects were in when they were stopped.
Investigators found a lap top computer, a GPS unit, and a police scanner
tuned to Fairfax County police radio channels.
The
arrests mark the beginning of a new phase in the investigation that is
expected to include multiple jurisdictions in at least two
states.
