PRINCE WILLIAM, Va. – On November 8 and 9, four separate hotels in the area reported armed robberies, all of which appeared to have been done by the same suspect. In all cases, the man enters the hotel, approaches an employee at the front desk, and demands money with a handgun before leaving the scene on foot. Police say that this same man is linked to the robbery of a Residence Inn on 7345 Williamson Blvd in Manassas from October 22.

To meet this need, each year the Committee organizes a Winter Warm-UP online clothing drive. For only $10, donors can purchase a “kit” containing a hat, gloves and fleece, and sweat shirt.
