Strong-Armed Robbery – On March 20 at 10:30PM, officers responded to the AMF Bowling located at 4301 Dale Blvd in Woodbridge (22193) to investigate a robbery. The victim, a 25-year-old man, reported to police that he was in the men’s restroom when he was approached by several acquaintances who demanded money from him. When the victim refused, the victim was assaulted and a pack of cigarettes was taken from him. The parties separated and the suspects left the area.

During the investigation, officers located three of the acquaintances, identified as Jordan Antione Everette HAYDEN, Joshua Andre DIAZ, and Skyler Nicole COMPTON, a short time later at another business in the area and arrested them without incident.  Officers have obtained arrest warrants for three additional suspects, identified as Steven Antonio FOY, Ana Stephanie ROSATO, and Jocelyn Verenice VENTURA-LEIVA. Attempts to locate the remaining three outstanding wanted suspects have been unsuccessful. The investigation continues.

Here’s a term you might not be familiar with — the sandwich generation. It typically refers to the generation that cares for both children and aging parents.

Traditionally, the generation is made up of people in their thirties and forties. But with technology, advanced healthcare and a wide span of years during which parents decide to have children, the sandwich generation can include people in their twenties and fifties, maybe even sixties, in some cases. The Pew Research Center says, “Who is the sandwich generation? Its members are mostly middle-aged: 71% of this group is ages 40 to 59. An additional 19% are younger than 40 and 10% are age 60 or older.”
