Police last week collared a suspect in the July robbery of a Fairfax County BB&T, only to see another bank struck on Thursday — the 27th in an unusually busy year for bank robberies in the county.
The number of Fairfax bank robberies since January already exceeds the number committed over each of the most recent years. If the trend continues, 2006 could be on track to match 1997, when the county saw 45 such crimes. Many of this year’s robberies are tied in with the same suspect, police say.
