No Criminal Activity Suspected From Buses At Fairfax County Stops

RESTON, VA — Fairfax County Police now say criminal activity is not suspected in two suspicious buses at children's bus stops Thursday.

The incidents happened Thursday morning in Reston and Lorton. Police have identified the bus involved in the Reston incident and believe it was there for normal business.
