Two residents of a home in the Lorton area were the victims of an attempted scam last night. Around 5:10 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, two men knocked on the front door of a residence in the 9500 block of Fourth Street. The homeowners answered the door and the men explained they worked with a construction company. The men told the homeowners that they needed to discuss the removal of a tree in their backyard.
The husband walked into the backyard with one of the men while the second man came into the home with the wife. As the two sat at the kitchen table talking, the woman heard a noise elsewhere in the home. She went to investigate and discovered a third man attempting to steal items from inside. All three suspects fled from the home and left the area in a silver truck, possibly a Chevrolet. No items were taken and no one was injured.
The suspects were all described as Hispanic and in their 30s. The first suspect was 6 feet tall and weighed 160 pounds. The second suspect was about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed 190 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477 or Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

Greenwood Open Space Cleanup
People littering and heavy winds blowing on trash day has lead to excess trash throughout the neighborhood. Criminals see dirty neighborhoods as an open invitation. Do your part to keep the neighborhood clean and free from crime.
The 4th Annual 'Krispy Kreme and Clean' Greenwood Open Space Cleanup will be held Saturday morning, April 21st, at 8:30am. Please meet at the pool parking lot for trash bags and area assignments.
It seem to be the same handful of people helping clean up year after year. Parents, please encourage your children to help on the cleanup. Seeing how much litter is collected will hopefully help them think twice before throwing their snack wrappers and soda bottles anywhere other than a trashcan. Make it a family affair and pass along pride in the community to the next generation.
Plus, free donuts and coffee.
To add to the beauty of the neighborhood, the committee is also kind enough to give participants a lovely small spring plant for their yard.
