Springfield Mall Fatal Carjacking

Please see the email below from Officer Eggers regarding the recent abduction from Springfield Mall. (Officers at the March '08 Neighborhood Watch Conference discussed the increased crime at Springfield mall and recommended if at all possible, it is best to avoid Springfiled Mall entirely).

Please note - Officer Eggers is scheduled to attend our Annual Greenwood Meeting on Wednesday, Oct 15th at Key Middle School to discuss personal safety, crime in Fairfax County and most importanly the recent crime and vandalism in Greenwood and fires started at the park behind Dakine Circle.
