Police investigate two Herndon robberies
Fairfax County Police are investigating two armed robberies in the Herndon area that occurred within minutes of each other early Friday morning.
A 25-year-old Herndon man parked his car in the 2500 block of John Eppes Road around 12:30 a.m. and began walking two his apartment when a man walked up to him, pointed a gun at him and demanded money, police said. The victim handed over an undisclosed amount of money and the suspect fled.
A few minutes later, a 27-year-old Herndon woman was sitting inside her car with a 25-year-old Herndon man, parked on William Short Circle, when a man approached and tapped on the window.
