Store Robbed in the Annandale Area

An employee at a convenience store was robbed on Sunday evening. Police were called to the Rite Aid store, located at 7434 Little River Turnpike, just after 6 p.m. on January 28. An investigation determined that while closing the pharmacy, the employee, a 47-year-old Alexandria-area woman, was approached by a man. After briefly speaking with the employee, the man brandished a handgun and demanded the cash tray which the victim was holding. A second male suspect then appeared. Both suspects fled the store with the cash. No one was injured.

The suspects were described as black males in their 20s. The first suspect was 5 feet 10 inches tall and 180 pounds. He was wearing a black jacket and dark sunglasses. The second suspect was 6 feet 1 inch tall and 170 pounds. He was wearing a black jacket and a black and white bandana.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477 or Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.
