Two Robbed in Springfield

On Sunday, January 27 at approximately 7 p.m., a mother and daughter were robbed while walking home from the store. The 35-year-old Springfield-area woman and her 13-year-old daughter were in the 6000 block of Dinwiddie Street when they saw a mini-van drive past and park just ahead of them. Two men got out of the car, threatened the victims with a knife and announced a robbery. The suspects went through the victims’ pockets, took cash and fled. There were no injuries.

The both suspects were described as being about 18 years old. One was approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and heavy set with a birthmark on his face. He was wearing a red and white striped shirt, black pants and a brown sweater. The other was approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and thin. He was wearing a gray and white shirt, dark pants and a brown jacket. They were seen in a green van with a white hood.

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