Police blotter: Suspects caught after two robberies

Two robbery suspects were nabbed by officers on Thursday, according to today’s Fairfax County Police blotter.

The first robbery happened around 3 a.m. at the 7-Eleven at 8226 Russell Road (see map). Police say a man and woman went into the store, grabbed one of the employees and demanded cash.

Officers arrived on the scene and found Rodney Jenkins near the store. After reviewing surveillance footage from the 7-Eleven, officers determined Jenkins was involved and charged him with robbery.

The second suspect remains at large.

On Thursday afternoon another man was charged with robbery after allegedly concealing items at the Beacon Hill Giant and then pulling a knife on store security.

Police arrived at the store, located at 6800 Richmond Highway (see map), around 2:45 p.m. and found a man trying to leave after the confrontation with store security. A 28-year-old Woodbridge man was taken into custody by police.
