Roughly 20 vehicles were damaged across a series of Pentagon City and Crystal City neighborhoods on Friday (Aug. 3), marking the second time in the last month thieves have struck the area.
Arlington County police believe “the windows of approximately 20 vehicles were smashed and airbags stolen” across the area sometime on Friday night, according to a crime report.
They add that the thieves stole the tires and rims off two of those vehicles. In all, police believe the incidents occurred on the following streets:
- 500 block of 15th Street S.
