Man Sneaks Onto Reston Town Center Rooftop

A man explores Reston's Freedom Square rooftop and appears to rummage through blueprints in another room in a 10-minute YouTube video.

RESTON, VA — A man was able to access the rooftop of the Freedom Square building at Reston Town Center through an unlocked door and roamed freely for more than 10 minutes, uploading video of his adventures to YouTube on Monday.

The video, posted by the account "KonaKreations" and since removed, is filmed largely from the videographer's perspective and shows him ascending the staircase until he reaches a door marked "roof." The door is unlocked, allowing him to walk out onto the roof and roam around freely.

He returns inside the building several times to explore other parts of an area that appear to be meant for staff, although he doesn't encounter anyone else while up there. At one point, he rummages through what appear to be blueprints and other documents.
