Crime Solvers Programs Seek Suspects in Series of Robberies in the Region
Crime Solvers programs in Fairfax County and Prince William County are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the men responsible for robbing several cab drivers throughout the region. Since December 2012, at least six cab drivers have been robbed after parking their cabs. Detectives from each jurisdiction believe the same group of men is responsible for these incidents. The following robberies are believed to be related:
•Monday, December 3, 2012: Fairfax County – 8th Street and Lincoln Avenue at 6:05 a.m. A 39-year-old driver parked his cab and exited when another cab pulled up behind him. The driver exited, brandished a gun and demanded money. The victim complied and suspect fled.
•Saturday, March 30: Fairfax County – 5100 block of Lincoln Avenue at 6:26 a.m. A 34-year-old driver was walking to his cab when two suspects exited another car, brandished a handgun and took property from the victim. Both suspects fled in the other car.
•Thursday, June 20: Fairfax County – 6500 block of Cherokee Avenue at 2:10 a.m. A 51-year-old driver parked his car in a parking lot. Two suspects exited another vehicle, each brandishing guns. They took money and property from the victim and fled in the other car.
•Friday, June 21: Prince William County – 14000 block of Baneberry Circle at 3:48 a.m. A 54-year-old driver parked his vehicle and was approached by two suspects, one with a handgun. The suspects took property from the victim and fled in their vehicle.
•Sunday, June 23: Fairfax County – 6400 block of Wingate Street at 3:45 a.m. A 29-year-old driver parked his cab and exited. He was approached by a suspect brandishing a handgun. The suspect took cash and property from the victim and fled in another car.
• Another robbery case in a nearby jurisdiction is also believed to be related.
The suspects in these cases have been described as black, in their 20s, wearing dark-colored clothing and armed with handguns. The first suspect is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, 175 pounds. The second suspect is about 6 feet 2 inches tall, 180 pounds. The suspects have been seen driving taxi cabs during these reported robberies. Detectives have determined these cars were previously stolen and then abandoned after the robbery.

Robbing a cab driver is not a crime, it's payback for driving under the speed limit in the left lane.

It's even worse when you're paying the fare.
However, there are some taxi drivers who have warned me of speed cameras, traps, etc. while driving my company truck in DC.
Precious few, though.

I hate how this area has turned into a shit hole. The local roads were not designed to handle all of this congestion from traffic and now the shit from DC and MD is spilling over into my great state! This is becoming a jungle like New York.

I bet these robberies are being done by repeat offenders, most are. Just think if they were registered with the police some of them would stop and get a job.
