Compared to 2022, vehicle thefts are trending down in all Arlington zip codes except one: 22202.

Crystal City and Pentagon City have emerged as a vehicle theft hotspot in Arlington County, accounting for about half of all stolen cars so far this year.

Vehicle thefts rose sharply in Arlington during the pandemic, reaching nearly 400 county-wide in 2022 — about an 80% increase over 2019. Last year saw a slight dip and a projection based on the first three months of 2024 points to a continued overall decrease.

The drop would be steeper if not for continued rising car thefts in Crystal City, Pentagon City and surrounding neighborhoods.

Whereas last year carjackings in that area made most of the headlines — though only a portion of the overall thefts — this year ARLnow has received numerous tips about a string of vehicle break-ins and thefts from apartment parking garages. The 22202 zip code is on pace for around 175 vehicle thefts this, up from 131 in 2023, 90 in 2022 and 33 in 2021.

The next-highest zip code for vehicle theft in Arlington is 22204 — the Columbia Pike corridor — which is on pace for about 75 thefts this year.

Isabella Gallegos, who lives in a building near the Costco and Amazon’s HQ2 in Pentagon City, says she recently was a victim of the ongoing series of car thefts. She returned from a trip out of town and couldn’t find her Kia Sportage in the building’s secure garage.

“We pay for resident parking with clicker access, so I’ve never really thought this would be an issue,” Gallegos told ARLnow. “At first, I thought I was losing my mind, but my roommate came down to help me and we were both bewildered. Then we went to talk to my building’s concierge, proceeded to call the line they put on the police page for towing, however nothing came up in their system. Then the Arlington police sent an officer to file a police report to report my car stolen.”

“The officer mentioned these things were common in Pentagon City,” she said of the theft, adding that she was neither able to get security footage nor much help from her building’s management. “I really want others to know what’s going on and that they’re not safe even in their building’s reserved parking.”

Arlington County police spokeswoman Ashley Savage tells ARLnow that the department is seeing many thefts involving Hyundai and Kia models specifically, in addition to the theft of vehicles from gig workers making deliveries.

“Thefts, including the stealing of vehicles, vehicle parts and items left unattended inside parked vehicles, are often crimes of opportunities,” Savage said. “The most common vehicle thefts reported to police include parked vehicles with keys left inside, Hyundai and Kia model vehicles where suspects bypass the ignition and start the vehicle after removing the steering column and vehicles running unattended (often delivery vehicles). No matter where you park, police encourage following the below crime prevention tips to help keep your vehicle and valuables safe.”

A week after first contacting ARLnow, Gallegos told us her car was spotted by police in the Ivy City neighborhood of D.C. and the man driving it was subsequently pulled over and arrested. In addition to a charge related to driving a stolen vehicle, the man was charged in a February robbery and shooting in Ivy City.

It’s unclear whether the car will be drivable again.

“It’s pretty trashed… still TBD if damage will be repaired,” Gallegos said.

To help curb local vehicle thefts, the Arlington County Police Department is holding a pair of events over the next couple of weeks to give away steering wheel locks and, in some cases, Apple AirTags.

Amid a continued elevated number of vehicle thefts, compared to pre-pandemic levels, Arlington County police are giving away free anti-theft devices.

A pair of upcoming giveaway events will take place on Wednesday, April 17 and Tuesday, April 23 in church parking lots. Police will distribute one steering wheel lock to each vehicle owner who lives in Arlington and shows up to the event, while supplies last.

The giveaways are being held “to help prevent auto thefts ahead of the peak summer season.”

Police also say that owners of some frequently stolen cars — including Hyundai, Toyota, Kia and Honda models — may additionally be eligible to receive free Apple AirTags. Certain Hyundais and Kias are particularly vulnerable to vehicle theft due to lack of a common anti-theft device and simple instructions for stealing them being distributed on social media.

More, below, from an ACPD press release.

The Arlington County Police Department is offering free steering wheel lock devices to help prevent auto thefts ahead of the peak summer season. These anti-theft devices are free, while supplies last, to Arlington residents and those who park their vehicles while at work in Arlington.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a motor vehicle was stolen every 32 seconds in the United States in 2022. Thefts, including the stealing of vehicles, vehicle parts and items left unattended inside parked vehicles, are often crimes of opportunity. Steering wheel locks are a proactive, visible measure community members can take to help deter crime and keep their vehicles safe.

Anti-Theft Device Giveaways

Officers will share educational information and distribute one steering wheel lock per vehicle owner, while supplies last, at the following events:

• Wednesday, April 17 at Our Lady of Lourdes Church parking lot, 830 23rd Street S., from 3 – 7 p.m.
• Tuesday, April 23 at Arlington Assembly of God parking lot, 4501 N. Pershing Drive, from 12 – 4 p.m.

Additionally, if you own one of the below listed vehicle makes and models, which were the most commonly reported stolen vehicles in Arlington County in 2023, or your vehicle appears on the NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau) 2022 Top 10 Most Stolen Vehicles Nationally list, you may be eligible to receive an Apple AirTag.

• Hyundai Elantra
• Hyundai Sonata
• Toyota Camry
• Toyota Corolla
• Kia Optima
• Hyundai Tucson
• Honda Civic
• Honda Accord
• Honda CRV
• Kia Forte
• Chevrolet Express

Help Prevent Vehicle Thefts with These Crime Prevention Tips

The police department encourages all motorists to practice the following crime prevention tips:

• Use a steering wheel or pedal locking device.
• Consider aftermarket alarm systems or anti-theft devices.
• Park in well-lit areas and activate exterior lights at your home.
• Remove valuables from your parked vehicle.
• Close and lock all windows and doors when you park. Double click the lock button on the key fob to receive a confirmation beep/chirp or pull on the door handle to verify it’s locked.
• Do not leave your keys, key fobs, or valet keys in your vehicle. This includes keys to a secondary vehicle.
• Keep information, such as the make, model, model year, license plate and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) easily accessible in the event your vehicle is stolen.
• Participate in the 9 P.M. Routine and encourage your family, friends and neighbors to do so too.

A 21-year-old Reston man is facing serious charges after a high-speed chase that ended in Arlington last night.

The chase started around 10:45 p.m. on the Beltway in Fairfax County, after Virginia State Police were alerted to a stolen vehicle entering the Commonwealth from Maryland.

The chase continued north on I-395 until state police used a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver near the N. Glebe Road off-ramp, causing the fleeing driver to crash into a ditch.

The suspect was arrested after being found hiding in the trunk of the car, according to Virginia State Police. He has now been charged with attempted capital murder of a law enforcement officer, among other felonies.

The crash and aftermath was recorded from a traffic camera by local public safety watcher Dave Statter.

More, below, from a VSP press release.

At approximately 10:45 p.m. on March 7, 2023, Virginia State Police was notified by a Maryland law enforcement agency of a stolen 2015 Chevrolet traveling across the American Legion Bridge into Virginia. A Virginia trooper located the vehicle traveling on I-495 near Braddock Rd. and activated his emergency lights and siren to initiate a traffic stop. The Chevrolet refused to stop, sped away at a high rate of speed, and initiated a pursuit. As the stolen vehicle continued north on I-395, state police administered a pursuit intervention technique and brought the suspect vehicle to a stop near the Glebe Rd. exit.

The driver of the Chevrolet, Abiselome Belachew, 21, of Reston, Va., then crawled into the trunk of the vehicle to try and hide from the troopers. Belachew was taken into custody without further incident.

During the course of the pursuit, the Chevrolet rammed one of the trooper’s vehicles into the Jersey wall. The trooper suffered minor injuries.

State police charged Belachew with attempted capital murder of a law enforcement officer, one felony count of hit-and-run (of the trooper’s vehicle), one felony count of eluding police, auto theft and driving on a suspended license.

The same suspect was previously charged with armed robbery in Montgomery County in 2019.

Four masked men allegedly broke into an Arlington apartment building early Tuesday morning and stole mail from the mailroom.

The theft happened at the Camden Potomac Yard apartments, on the 3500 block of S. Ball Street, near the Alexandria border.

“At approximately 2:07 a.m. on March 5, police were dispatched to the report of a suspicious person,” Arlington County police spokeswoman Ashley Savage tells ARLnow. “The preliminary investigation indicates four male suspects entered the residential building and stole mail and packages.”

“An employee observed the suspects and called police. The suspects then fled the scene in a white SUV prior to police arrival,” Savage continued. “The suspects are described as Black males with slender builds, approximately 5’10”, wearing ski masks and all black clothing. The investigation is ongoing.”

Savage said police are investigating whether the suspects might be responsible for other mail thefts.

“Mail addressed to other locations were recovered during the course of the investigation into the larceny,” she said, in response to an ARLnow inquiry about other mail thefts in the county. “As part of the ongoing investigation, detectives are working to determine if other similar incidents occurred at additional residential buildings.”

Arlington residents whose mail or packages are stolen should file an online police report, Savage said.

Local public safety watcher Alan Henney posted on social media the following memo to residents, from building management, about the mail theft.

Last night at approximately 2:07 AM 4 masked individuals entered the north mail room and broke into several mailboxes. Our on-duty concierge immediately contacted Arlington County Police who arrived at 2:18 AM after the individuals fled minutes before. A police report has been filed and Officer Laprise and Costello-Mays have requested that any residents with missing mail to contact them directly to make a report. The officers that responded also informed us that this was not an isolated incident, but this occurred at multiple properties in the local area.

Although our building does have cameras and controlled access, crime can still occur. Please be mindful of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity to Arlington County Police at 911 or non-emergency at 703-558-2222.

Henney had previously posted about a vehicle theft from the building’s parking garage, which happened over the weekend.

ACPD confirmed the incident to ARLnow, sharing the following crime report item.

STOLEN VEHICLE, 2024-03020072, 3500 block of S. Ball Street. At approximately 10:23 a.m. on March 2, police were dispatched to the report of a stolen vehicle. The preliminary report indicates that at approximately 7:18 a.m., the suspect entered the residential garage and stole the victim’s vehicle, a gray 2013 Honda CRV with Virginia license plate TUA9377. The suspect is described as a Black male wearing a beanie, dark colored coat, sweatpants and black shoes. The investigation is ongoing.

A D.C. man is in jail after police say he tried to run from officers during a traffic stop in the Clarendon area.

Arlington police conducted a traffic stop on a reported stolen vehicle around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, near the intersection of 10th Street N. and Wilson Blvd. The driver then ran, police said, leading to a foot pursuit.

According to scanner traffic at the time, the chase briefly entered the Clarendon Animal Care veterinary clinic on 10th Street N. before the suspect was apprehended.

More, below, from an ACPD crime report.

The 15th carjacking of the year in Arlington — based on ARLnow’s count of public crime reports — happened early Monday morning in the Green Valley neighborhood.

The incident happened around 3:20 a.m. on the 3200 block of 24th Street S., near the Shelton apartment complex.

Also in the latest ACPD crime report, two Hyundais were stolen while the airbags were taken from six Honda vehicles.

GRAND LARCENY AUTO/ATTEMPTED GRAND LARCENY AUTO/VEHICLE TAMPERING (Series) (Late), 2023-10080168/2023-10080171/2023-10080175, 1900 block of S.

At approximately 9:56 a.m. on October 8, police were dispatched to the report of a larceny from auto.

(Updated at 11 p.m.) A suspect in a truck crashed into multiple vehicles on I-66 and I-395, then led police on a wild chase in a stolen Arlington ambulance.

The incidents started shortly after 3:30 p.m., with reports of a stolen Freightliner truck striking vehicles on I-66 in the Rosslyn area and again on northbound I-395 just before the 14th Street Bridge. I-395 was blocked by the crashes and at least two people were hurt, including one with reported significant injuries.

The same hit-and-run suspect then allegedly stole another truck before hopping in and stealing an Arlington ambulance around 4:15 p.m. Medics tried to pull the suspect out of the ambulance but he drove off, leading Virginia State Police — followed by Arlington police — on a chase through parts of Crystal City and Pentagon City. The suspect struck numerous vehicles on the northbound HOV lanes of I-395 as he fled into D.C., according to Virginia State Police.

Eventually the ambulance was stopped on I-395 in southwest D.C. and the suspect taken into custody, according to Virginia State Police.

All northbound lanes of I-395, including HOV lanes, were blocked as of 4:45 p.m., with delays on the highway extending upwards of two miles. The HOV lanes reopened by 6:15 p.m. while crews continued to clear the crash scene in the still-blocked main lanes. As of 7:15 p.m. two main lanes had reopened, per VDOT.

At least 20 vehicles were damaged over the course of the hour-long string of incidents, including the ambulance, a VSP cruiser, a parked vehicle in D.C., vehicles on the GW Parkway and I-66, and well over a dozen vehicles on I-395.

Virginia State Police said in a press release Saturday night that the suspect is a 30-year-old Maryland man.

At 3:40 p.m. Saturday (Aug. 12), Virginia State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash in the eastbound lanes of I-66 near the 74 mile marker. The truck that caused the crash fled the scene. The truck had been reported stolen out of Falls Church, Va., and the driver was later identified as Darell T. Caldwell, 30, of Brandywine, Md. The driver of the other vehicle involved in this crash was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

At 3:41 p.m., VSP responded to a multi-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of I-395 near Exit 10 in Arlington County. The crash was caused by the same stolen truck being driven by Caldwell. A total of five people were transported to a nearby hospital as a result of this crash. Meanwhile, Caldwell fled the crash scene on foot.

Minutes later, State Police received a report of a crash on the George Washington Parkway involving another truck being driven by Caldwell that was driving the wrong way when it struck another vehicle. An Arlington County Fire Department ambulance responding to I-395 came upon the crash on the GW Parkway. The ambulance stopped and the medics got out to render aid to the drivers. While the medics were tending to the one driver, Caldwell ran up to the ambulance and drove off in it.

The medics waved down a VSP trooper who was responding to the crash scenes to alert him to the stolen ambulance. The trooper caught up to the stolen ambulance.  When the ambulance refused to stop for the trooper, a pursuit was initiated. At one point, the ambulance stopped in the road. As the trooper was getting out of his patrol car, Caldwell put the ambulance in reverse and rammed the state police vehicle and fled the scene.

The pursuit continued with Virginia State Police being assisted by Arlington County Police. During the course of the pursuit, the stolen ambulance accessed the I-395 Express Lanes and then entered Washington, D.C., where it struck head-on a parked vehicle at 14th Street NW and D Street NW. State police and Arlington County Police took Caldwell into custody without further incident. Caldwell was transported to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation.

The parked vehicle that was struck by the ambulance was occupied by one person. That individual suffered minor injuries.

During the course of the pursuit, the stolen ambulance struck multiple vehicles and again rammed the trooper’s patrol car. At this time, state police have accounted for and are investigating 13 hit-and-run crashes committed by the stolen ambulance. State police has not received any reports of serious injuries resulting from the crashes. No law enforcement were injured during the course of the pursuit. Anyone who was struck by the ambulance during the course of the pursuit is encouraged to contact the Virginia State Police at 703-803-0026.

Caldwell has been charged by federal and local law enforcement. State police charges are still pending.

Four teens are facing potential charges after running from a felony traffic stop.

The incident happened Thursday afternoon in the Rosslyn area.

Arlington County police say the juveniles were in a stolen car when officers tried to pull them over. All four — including one who allegedly was armed with a gun — tried to run off, but they were each eventually taken into custody, ACPD said.

More, below, from an ACPD crime report.

RECOVERED STOLEN AUTO (Significant), 2023-05040170, 1600 block of N. Queen Street. At approximately 4:15 p.m. on May 4, police attempted a traffic stop at N. Quinn Street and Wilson Boulevard on a vehicle previously reported stolen out of Fairfax County, VA. The four occupants exited the vehicle and ran from the scene. Officers initiated foot pursuits and the occupants, four juveniles, were located and taken into custody. During a search of the driver, a firearm was recovered. Petitions for the four juvenile suspects are pending.

An early morning dispute over parking led to a gun being brandished and a car being stolen.

That’s according to today’s Arlington County Police Department crime report.

The incident happened on the 6100 block of Wilson Blvd, in the Dominion Hills area, a bit after midnight. From ACPD:

BRANDISHING, 2023-04060006, 6100 block of Wilson Boulevard. At approximately 12:24 a.m. on April 6, police were dispatched to the report of a stolen vehicle. Upon arrival, it was determined the victim was in his vehicle when the suspect vehicle prevented him from pulling into a parking spot. The driver and passenger of the suspect vehicle exited the vehicle and became involved in a verbal dispute with the victim, during which the driver made threatening statements towards the victim and the passenger brandished a firearm. The victim exited his vehicle and left the area on foot. No injuries were reported. Upon returning, the victim discovered his vehicle, containing his wallet and undisclosed amount of cash, was stolen. Officers canvassed the area and recovered the stolen vehicle nearby.

“The investigation is ongoing,” ACPD said.

Arlington County police are on scene at the Dunkin’ Donuts in Cherrydale for a report of a stolen tip jar and a stolen car.

Initial reports suggest that a man swiped the tip jar at the restaurant, located at 3520 Langston Blvd, then hopped into someone else’s car and drove off in the direction of Rosslyn. Police are on scene investigating.

This is at least the second larceny involving a Cherrydale business in as many days.

According to today’s Arlington County Police Department crime report, someone broke into a business and stole tires from 11 cars. The theft happened early Monday morning on the 3900 block of Langston Blvd, an address that seemingly corresponds with the Brown’s Honda dealership.

More below from the ACPD crime report.

LARCENY FROM AUTO (Late), 2023-03200059, 3900 block of Langston Boulevard. At approximately 7:43 a.m. on March 20, police were dispatched to the late report of a larceny from auto.
