Police Searching For 3 Suspects Connected To Arlington Robbery

ARLINGTON, VA — A man was robbed at knifepoint while sitting in his car near Swanson Middle School in the Westover area of Arlington early Monday morning, according to the Arlington County Police Department.

At about 4:15 a.m. Monday, the victim was inside his parked car in the 5800 block of Washington Boulevard when a black sedan pulled up beside the car and three men got out of the vehicle.

The suspects opened the victim’s driver and passenger side doors. One of the suspects brandished a knife, and a second suspect hit the victim and stole his cellphone. The third suspect stole the victim’s key ring, which contained his car and house keys.
