LORTON, Va. – Police in Fairfax County have a subject in custody but are not connecting it to an alleged abduction and carjacking that happened Tuesday night at a Metro station.
Officers say the abduction and carjacking happened just before 7 p.m. at the Franconia-Springfield Metro station parking garage on Tuesday. Police say the suspect abducted a woman at gunpoint and forced her into the trunk of her 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.
The suspect drove the victim around for about an hour before dropping her off.
Once free, police say the woman went to a home on Silverdale Road in Lorton, Virginia where she called 911. She was not injured.
Police saw the suspect driving as they approached the scene, and chased him.
They say he wrecked his vehicle near Hooes Road and Furnace Road, and then fled on foot.
At this time, the suspect is still at large in the area of Lorifax Heights, near Hooes Road and Lorifax Drive.
A subject has been taken into custody by police, but at this time they are not connecting that person to the case.
Police describe the suspect as a black male who is about 5’9" and in his 20s.
He was last seen wearing a tan t-shirt, and he was armed with a handgun.
U.S. Park Police are also assisting in the aerial search.
Residents were advised to lock their doors and windows and not open the door to strangers until the suspect is in custody.
We hope that this is not one of our members, but do hope that the victim is recovering from this ordeal.
