Robbery Thwarted
Officers working in a plain clothes capacity prevented a robbery from taking place on Friday, February 29. At about 11:20 p.m. in the Sacramento area, members of the Mount Vernon Neighborhood Patrol Unit observed a disgruntled patron leaving the Mexico Lindo Restaurant at 8786 Richmond Highway. A short time later the same patron returned to the parking lot in a car. An investigative detention of the occupants in the area of Richmond Highway and Lukens Lane revealed that the three occupants of the vehicle had planned on robbing someone from the club. Officers recovered a shotgun, machetes and ski masks. No one was injured.
Alexis Robert Carrillo, 18, of 4320 Gramercy Circle, Alexandria and Cristobal Caballero, 18, of 8001 Steadman Street, Alexandria were arrested and transported to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. A 17-year-old Alexandria-area man was also arrested and transported to the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center. All three were charged with robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Carrillo was additionally charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
