Triangle, Va. – A fire ripped through a Triangle home Tuesday night displacing two people.
Fire crews from the Dumfries-Triangle Volunteer Fire Department and Quantico Marine Corps Base at 10:45 p.m. were called to a home in the 18000 block of Chestnut Drive. Flames were seen shooting from the roof of the home as crews arrived, said fire officials.
Prince William and Dumfries police spotted a car belonging to a suspect in the burglary in the area of U.S. 1 and Old Triangle Road in Triangle about 1:40 p.m. Police stopped the car but the passenger fled on foot, according to police.
The driver was arrested, and then police searched for the suspect but were unable to find him. That’s when K-9 units were called in to track the suspect, whom they later found in a wooded area near a ravine off U.S. 1 north, which runs parallel to Old Triangle Road.
