There continues to be a problem with Hondas and Acura’s being stolen and/or recovered from the Franconia District. In November a Honda Civic was stolen in Greenwood from Racetec. If you have any information regarding the stolen car, please contact the Crime Prevention Office.
Regardless of what kind of vehicle you own, please make sure you keep your vehicle locked at all times. Never leave your vehicle unattended and running. Purchasing an inexpensive security feature such as "the club" can be an added deterrent.
If you would like to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) etched into the windows of your vehicle to reduce the risk of vehicle theft, please e-mail the Crime Prevention Office at fracpo@fairfaxcounty.gov or call at (703) 922-8263 to schedule an appointment.

Update on home invasion
Last Friday three men broke into a home on Japonica Street. They had a hand gun and a knife. They also wore black ski masks. They knocked on the door and then burst their way in the house. Two teenage girls were tied up as the home was robbed of valuables. The perpetrators were in the home from 15 to 30 minutes. The girls were able to free themselves and call 911 on a cell phone. The lines to the house phone had been cut. Officer Eddy J Azcarate is the reporting officer.
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.
