Right up the street from me. The Temple, I mean, - ABC Store, is two doors down. The perp, it seems, then headed south right into my neighborhood. I was at SEG at the moment.

As of this week, the tally in Ashburn runs:

1 daylight armed robbery of Subway - crook caught
2 x daylight armed robberies of Hair Cutteries - crook at large
1 daylight "strong armed" robbery of a female jogger - victim is the wife of a long time gun owner

Some others that are not as "popular":
Attempted night time residential break in - crook scared off
Attempted night time residential break in - garage door destroyed, crooks gave up
Night time robbery of local chinese food place - crooks at large

There are other events I have heared whispers of but there are no police reports to back them up.
