The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the armed robbery of the Seven Corners Post Office.
The robbers walked into the post office at about 11:15 a.m. last Thursday at 6375 Seven Corners Center in Falls Church.
