Shoplifter Busted After Going Back For More In Fairfax: Police

FAIRFAX, VA—Maybe he thought he was such a good thief that no one saw him do what he did. Maybe he thought he could simply deny, deny, deny. Or maybe he just wasn't thinking, period.

Regardless, Andrew Charles Mock, 19, of the 10000 block of Mosby Woods Drive, found himself in handcuffs Saturday afternoon in the AT&T Wireless Store at 10160 Fairfax Boulevard.

According to Fairfax Police, around 4:30 p.m. an employee said an unknown man came in and took an item from the display area and then left the store without paying. But the man later returned to the store and tried to steal other items, this time with different results.
