WOODBRIGDE, VA — A 15-year-old boy from Maryland was arrested and charged in connection with the assault and carjacking of a 90-year-old woman in Woodbridge in April, according to the Prince William County Police Department. Authorities said they identified the teen during "an extensive investigation into several burglaries."

The carjacking was reported to police just after noon on April 21, 2021. A victim, a 90-year-old woman, told officers that she was pumping gas at the Sunoco on Annapolis Way in Woodbridge when four people approached her.

"One of the suspects demanded the victim’s keys and her purse before pushing her to the ground," the police department wrote in their report. "The four suspects then fled the area in the vehicle."

The victim reported the incident to a gas station employee who called the police. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries, according to authorities.

The victim lost her 2015 Mercedes-Benz SUV, her purse, and her wallet. Authorities did not say whether the victim's belongings were recovered.
