Home Invasion

This one hits Very close to home - one street over from Seatrend, connecting to Greenwood through the playground.

Yet there is one thing that EVERYONE can to which will prevent most crimes including this one...

Lock your doors. Keep them locked to strangers coming to your door. You can speak to people through a locked door - you do not have to open the door to see what the person wants.

If you have ANY doubts - call the police. They would rather come to a call that results in nothing, than a call that results in robbery or worse.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. -- Police are searching for three culprits in connection with a home invasion that occurred Friday in Springfield.

Police said two teenage girls were at home in the 6500 block of Japonica Street at about noon Friday when three suspects knocked on the door. When the door was opened, the armed suspects forced their way into the home, bound the two victims and searching the home for valuables, police said.
