Thieves smash glass, steal cash at eight Rosslyn and Courthouse businesses

Eight businesses in the Rosslyn and Courthouse areas are cleaning up after a series of early morning burglaries.

The break-ins happened early Thursday morning. Police say a group of 2-3 male suspects wearing all black, with their faces covered, smashed glass doors and windows in order to access the businesses and steal safes and cash drawers.

Among the businesses damaged are Oasis Nail Spa, Virginia ABC, Sawatdee Thai, and SeoulSpice Korean Kitchen. Plywood could still be seen this (Friday) morning, covering the shattered glass. The crew also reportedly broke into Hot Lola’s, Taco Rock and District Taco in Rosslyn.

“The investigation is ongoing,” said Arlington County police.
