Fairfax County Police are seeking public assistance to identify a suspect involved in a robbery that occurred in Springfield on June 14, 2026. Officers responded to the 5200 block of Montgomery Street at approximately 9:10 p.m. after an unknown man approached a victim's car.
The man requested a ride, and when denied, he climbed onto the car's hood. He then demanded money, threatened the victim and her 8-year-old daughter, and implied he was armed by reaching into a bag. After receiving money, the suspect fled before police arrived, and no injuries were reported.
Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division determined the same man was seen intentionally stepping into traffic on the 7300 block of Braddock Road about an hour before the robbery. Surveillance footage from a nearby home has been obtained. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Franconia Police Station at 703-922-0889 or submit anonymous tips through Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS (866-411-8477) or via their web platform. Victim specialists are providing support to the victim.
