Fairfax County, VA – Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau are investigating a stolen vehicle and carjacking committed by two teenagers who were arrested in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Yesterday, around 5:52 a.m., officers responded to the Vienna Metro Station in the 9500 block of Saintsbury Drive in Fairlee for a stolen 2021 Jeep Compass. Officers learned that two suspects stole the vehicle while it was left running and unoccupied.

Around 6:00 a.m., officers responded to the 8100 block of Porter Road in Merrifield for a carjacking. The victim reported he was sitting in his 2022 Toyota Camry when two suspects approached him, produced a firearm, and forced him out of the vehicle. One of the suspects assaulted the victim before both suspects fled in the victim’s vehicle. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries.   

Detectives responded and through their investigation learned that the Jeep became disabled after it was stolen by the suspects. The suspects then stole the victim’s Toyota, left the Jeep nearby, and fled Fairfax County before police arrival.
