1. Woodbridge Medical Uniforms Shop Caught Up In Nationwide Closure (patch.com) — Health care workers and other residents who rely on Scrubs & Beyond in Smoketown Station will soon lose their local source for medical uniforms as the national chain shuts all its stores, including Woodbridge. The company has not announced a closing date or explained the decision, leaving employees and shoppers uncertain while a clearance sale continues.
2. 2 More Teen Boys Arrested Over Woodbridge Tobacco Shop Burglary: Police (patch.com) — Woodbridge readers are learning more about a late-night August break-in at the Tobacco King on Minnieville Road, where vape products were stolen and suspects fled in a stolen vehicle. Police say two Woodbridge teens are the latest to be arrested, bringing the total to three juveniles charged so far in the five-suspect burglary case.
3. Gynecological surgeon injures patient with incorrect incision (valawyersweekly.com) — A Prince William County jury awarded $2.65 million to a patient injured during gynecologic surgery at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge, after a surgeon mistakenly cut into her rectum. The woman endured intensive care, a temporary ileostomy, multiple follow-up procedures, and ongoing pain, with experts testifying the surgeon failed to follow standard anatomical safeguards.

WEEKEND FREDLINES: 'LGBTQ+ middle schoolers took a conservative Virginia school board to court to protect their rights — and won,' and other local news (fxbgadvance.com) — Residents across Prince William County, including at least one in Woodbridge, reported a strong sulfur or rotten-egg smell Saturday, prompting more than 20 gas-leak calls but no identified source or safety orders.
