On Thursday, June 20, a 25-year-old California woman was staying at a local hotel in the 5700 block of Van Dorn Street for the purposes of on-line solicitation of adult services. Around 4:30 a.m. three men forced their way into her hotel room and one brandished a handgun. The victim was sexually assaulted and robbed of money and personal property.

Detectives from Fairfax County reached out to other surrounding jurisdictions and were able to locate the suspects. With assistance from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force the three suspects were taken into custody on warrants from Fairfax County.
