Teens Go On Dumfries Crime Spree After Stealing Car: Police

DUMFRIES, VA — Prince William County police have arrested three people and are searching for additional suspects in connection to a Sept. 23 crime spree where the suspects allegedly stole a Cadillac Escalade, hit another vehicle before fleeing and burglarized multiple local businesses.

Police on Tuesday arrested a 14-year-old female in connection with the case. Previously, police also arrested Isaiah Lee Riddle, 19, and a 15-year-old male for their alleged involvement in the crimes.

According to police, officers responded to Tim’s River Shore at 1510 Cherry Hill Rd. in Dumfries to investigate a burglary. After arriving, they discovered that earlier in the day, a group of individuals allegedly stole a Cadillac Escalade from a residence in the 18700 block of Fuller Heights Road in Triangle. The Escalade also was involved in a hit and run near the main gate of Marine Corps Base Quantico, police said.

Following the hit and run, the driver of the vehicle, identified as Riddle, fled the scene and returned to the Fuller Heights area where he met up with other acquaintances. Together, the group burglarized the Auto Tech Store at 18741 Fuller Heights Rd., police said, where they stole two sets of keys and a four-door, dark-colored vehicle.

The suspects allegedly drove the vehicle for a short time before burglarizing Mary’s Flower Shop located at 18742 Fuller Heights Rd. The suspects stole flowers and candy, police said, before fleeing in the second stolen vehicle.

At that point, police said the suspects parked the vehicle and proceeded to walk to Tim’s River Shore at 1510 Cherry Hill Rd. where they broke into the business and took an undisclosed amount of money.

Prince William County police were called to Tim’s River Shore after the suspects triggered the alarm. Responding officers located two suspects walking in the area of Williamstown and arrested them without incident.

The 14-year-old female arrested Tuesday and the 15-year old male are facing burglary charges, while Riddle faces three counts of burglary, two counts of grand larceny and one count of hit and run.

The investigation continues as detectives seek to identify the other suspects involved.
