Attempts To Hide Missing Girl Lead To Arrests In Kingstowne

Two people are facing charges after attempting to stop police from finding a missing girl inside a Kingstowne home Saturday. It did not appear to be a kidnapping incident.

Officers were looking for the girl reported missing that day. Around 2:33 p.m., they responded to the 7500 block of Shirley Hunter Way, where residents denied the girl was inside. Police did spot her inside, resulting in a boy pushing one officer to keep him out.

The boy charged with assault on law enforcement and obstruction of justice and taken to the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center. Blanca Reyes Rubio, 40, of Springfield, was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and obstruction of justice.

Other notable incidents reported in the Kingstowne area over the weekend include:
