Crime

On October 25, 2011 at approximately 7:30 in the evening an unknown male attempted to abduct a 17 year old female while she was walking between apartments. The female victim reported that she was walking from one apartment to another when an unknown male, driving a beige colored car, followed her. The male stopped the car and told the female to “get in the car.” The victim refused and the male then said that if she did not get in the car he would get out and make her get in. The victim ran and the male suspect drove off saying that he would return to get her. Due to the fear the victim was experiencing as a result of this incident the information was not shared with Stafford Authorities until today. The information was given to the victim’s School Resource Officer at school today.

The vehicle is described as a long, 4-door sedan, beige inside and out, with stock silver wheels and squeaky brakes. The suspect is described as a light skinned (possible Hispanic) male, thin but muscular with short black hair that was spiked in the front. No facial hair was noted and the suspect spoke with a faint accent.

Police by 3 p.m. had closed several streets around the judicial center that serves Prince William, Manassas, and Manassas Park and had evacuated everyone inside.

Just before 4 p.m., there had been no reports of any bombs found and no injuries.

Now, Stafford County authorities have launched a new initiative to stop flash mob robberies before they ever begin in that county.

“Flash Mobs bent on committing lawless acts have the potential to put the citizens of Stafford County in danger,” stated Sheriff Charles E. Jett in a press release. “Working together all of us can make sure that these types of crimes are stopped before they ever happen.”
