Police Investigate Reston Robbery A Maryland man was robbed at gunpoint around 9:45 p.m. on Fri- day, May 23. The victim, 47, exited his vehicle and was walking with a friend in the 11700 block of Stratford House Place when the suspect pointed a gun at him and demanded the victim’s wallet. The victim handed an undisclosed amount of money and the suspect then walked away. There were no injuries. The suspect was described as white, 16 to 18 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He wore baggy jeans, a dark, multicolored, hooded jacket and a dark baseball cap.

Nearby Robberies Moments Apart Police officers from the Reston District Station responded to two armed robberies in Herndon, minutes apart from one another, in the 2500 blocks of John Eppes Road and William Short Circle. The robber- ies took place on Friday, May 23, around 2:30 a.m. During the John Eppes Road robbery, a 25-year-old Herndon man was approached after he parked his car and started walking toward his apartment. He relinquished an undisclosed amount of money after a man pointed a gun at him and demanded money. Several minutes later, a man approached a parked car on William Short Circle occupied by a 27-year-old Herndon woman and a 25-year- old man. The man who approached the car tapped on the window, but the woman and the man in the car did not acknowledge him. The man outside the car then opened a car door and pointed a gun at the car’s occupants, demanding money from them. They did not comply and the armed man fled. No injuries were reported in either case and the suspect in both rob- beries was described as white or Hispanic, about 25 years old. He was See Week in Reston, Page 4
