Felony Hit & Run – On July 20 at 6:53PM, officers responded to the Oasis at Montclair Apartment complex located in the 16400 block of Stedham Cl. in Dumfries (22025) to investigate a hit and run crash. The investigation revealed the victim, a 37-year-old man, was approached by an unknown individual while he was outside of his vehicle. At one point during the encounter, the suspect got into the victim’s vehicle, a gold Lexus SUV, and began to drive in reverse. The victim grabbed onto the vehicle before the SUV struck a separate unoccupied vehicle before moving forward. As the SUV continued forward, the victim was thrown off and subsequently run over. The suspect drove the stolen SUV out of the area prior to police arriving on the scene. The victim was treated at an area hospital for life-threatening injuries. The investigation continues as detectives attempt to identify and locate the suspect.

Aquia Landing Park, known for its scenic location at the Potomac River and Aquia Creek confluence, will soon unveil a new playground. The ribbon-cutting ceremony, scheduled for July 27, 2024, will include gift bag handouts for children attending the event.
The new playground, seen in the slideshow above, is a basic playset developed with a project cost of $144,000. The site’s limitations, including space constraints and susceptibility to flooding, influenced the straightforward design. The project was completed smoothly, with the installation promptly done once the equipment arrived after several months of waiting.
