This Last Week in Crime: Video of Fox Mill Giant Robbery, Plus No Surprises in Glenvale

Apparently the YouTubes aren't just for poseur suburban gangsta wannabees anymore. This surveillance video of the armed robbery attempt at the Fox Mill Giant in Reston during last week's MASSIVE CRIME WAVE shows the two assailants used Jason-esque hockey masks to disguise their identity as they ran around trying to rob the store, until they got spooked by their own ringtone. Takes a tough guy to pistol-whip an unarmed woman, yet still be scared of the sound of a phone ringing.

Meanwhile, a reporter visited the scene of the other big event of last week's MASSIVE CRIME WAVE -- the double-shooting on Freetown Court off Glade Road -- and found the locals unsurprised.

GLENVALE RESIDENTS said they were not surprised there was a shooting in their neighborhood. Joy Ezidinma, a mother of five boys, said she does not let her children play in the neighborhood and instead takes them to a playground nearby. "We don’t let them play out here. A lot of adults are always sitting out there," she said pointing to the crime scene. "The kind of people who sit out there, you start to suspect" they may be involved in gang activity, said Ezidinma.

A neighbor who did not wish to be identified in the article said a trespassing sign fronting Glade Drive had been tagged with gang signs multiple times in recent months. Although he lives across the open area where the shooting took place, the neighbor said he did not hear the shots. However, the person who lives above him did hear them, at first two shots and then a succession of shots.

Juan Hill, a maintenance worker at Glenvale, said there had been a background of apparent drug dealings in the community. "We’ve been trying to get those people out," he said, "but there’s only so much you can do." Hill said he was not really surprised that the shooting took place. "I knew something was going to happen," he said. Hill added that he was told one of the two victims used to live in Glenvale.

The neighbor who does not wish to be identified in the article bought his home in Glenvale eight years ago. He said he did not wish for Glenvale, a community where families and nice people live, to be tagged as a bad neighborhood. The shooting, he said, was the first since he lived there and the first in the neighborhood in decades.

For what it's worth, no suspects have been arrested in any of last week's incidents.
