Herndon Man Told To Get Stuff From Car, Steals Car Instead: Cops

STERLING, VA -- A Herndon man was given some car keys and was supposed to retrieve some items from the car, but instead he stole it and drove it to D.C., police say.

Police say that shortly before 11 p.m. on Aug. 11 in the 46000 block of Community Plaza in Sterling, a man loaned keys to 33-year-old David E. Anticocna-Choy so that he could get some items out of his car, according to a report from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

Instead, the suspect "stole the vehicle from the parking lot and drove to Washington, DC," the report states.

Police found the vehicle with the suspect, and arrested him. He is pending extradition to Loudoun County.
