(Updated at 4 p.m.) Arlington County Police are investigating a series of two home burglaries that were reported Thursday morning in the Madison Manor neighborhood.
The burglaries occurred on the 6200 block of 12th Street N. and on the 1000 block of N. Quintana Street.
“As we were investigating these burglaries, we received a report from two witnesses that they saw two Hispanic males approach a residence in the 900 block of N. Quesada where they attempted to steal a bicycle,” said ACPD spokeswoman Ashley Savage. “The suspects fled the area on foot.”
An earlier version of this article reported that more than two homes were broken into, which is incorrect, Savage clarified.
