Police in the Woodbridge and Triangle areas are warning residents about a rash of burglaries in their neighborhoods. More from a press release:
RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES
There have been recent reports of residential burglaries in the South Woodbridge and Dumfries/Triangle areas between Sept. 13 and Oct. 16, 2012. The times vary; however a large number have been during the workday hours. The affected streets are: Uppsala Court, Flotsam Lane, Gloucester Court, Chesapeake Drive, Oak Tree Lane, Clancy Drive, Stonewall Manor Drive, Cabin Road, Sapling Way and Old Triangle Road.
Noticeable forced entry was used in only three of the burglaries; the majority of the cases involved no sign of forced entry or an unlocked/open entry point.
Remember:
Keep all doors and windows locked, even if at home.
If you hear something, do not investigate. Go to a safe room in your home, call the police (911) and stay on the line.
Be on the lookout for suspicious persons or activity during the day as well as during evening hours.
REPORT all suspicious persons or activity to the police.
What do I do if I am the victim of a burglary?
Do not enter the house.
Call the police immediately.
While waiting for the police do not touch anything or allow anyone to enter your home.
What can I do to help prevent a burglary?
If your community has a Neighborhood Watch, volunteer to participate. If your community does not have one, start one.
The most important thing you can do is call the police to report a crime or any suspicious activity. You are the eyes and ears for your community.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
