WOODBRIDGE, VA — A man is being held without bond and another person sought for an armed robbery during a supposed drug deal Wednesday morning in the 12300 block of Oakwood Drive, according to Prince William County Police. Jahreme Cseion Austin, 19 (above), of the 4100 block of Ferrara Terrace in Woodbridge, was charged with two counts of robbery. The other suspect is described Hispanic, in his late teens to early 20s and last seen wearing a dark jacket and dark pants.

Around 10:30 a.m., police went to the scene for a reported robbery. The male victims, 24 and 18, said they arranged to meet the other two people there for a drug deal but instead were punched in the face and then had a knife pulled on them. The other guys demanded money and then fled but Austin was caught shortly afterward with the help of a K-9 unit.
