The suspect in a series of carjackings in the Manassas area is now in custody. Prince William police said a man carjacked another vehicle in the Manassas area today and fled into Fairfax County where he was arrested. The arrest comes after a woman was carjacked in Prince William County yesterday while waiting for  roadside assistance to fix a flat tire.


Some Prince William County residents who live in the Brentsville District, the most rural area of the county, weighed in on future plans to develop the region.

Increased development was a common point of dissatisfaction among many residents. Loss of green space, increased congestion, and overcrowded schools were cited reasons for why many oppose new development in the county.


This past winter, OmniRide was in the middle of a year-long transit study to find out if people would call for a ride and then be taken to an OmniRide local bus stop.

Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, and ridership across all OmniRide bus services plummeted. OmniRide officials are expected to ask for an extension of the study period at the next OmniRide Commissioners meeting, to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, September 3, at the OmniRide transit center at 14700 Potomac Mills Circle in Woodbridge.
