The suspects were wearing dark-colored clothing and their faces were covered. The victim, a 31-year-old man, was not injured.
Illegal Prescription Drug Sales
Unauthorized prescription drugs are being sold in a variety of spots across Fairfax County and police are working to stomp it out. Officers served over a dozen search warrants across the county , seizing thousands of doses of painkillers, birth control pills, antibiotics and other drugs that are being illegally dispensed. Customers typically pay cash between $5 to $25 per dose for the medications; stored in boxes within armsÕ reach of the cashier. An undercover operation has targeted the wide-ranging scope of the problem over the past six months.
Police received a few sporadic reports from the Latino community that counterfeit drugs were being sold over the past several years. Police immediately stepped up their efforts to tackle the problem after a woman came forward when she became violently ill and been hospitalized after taking the drugs a few months ago. "Some of the people who came forward asking for help from us were very hesitant to do so. They were non-English speaking immigrants who came from countries where they'd had negative experiences with law enforcement, so it was a tough thing for them to do," said John Piper, Commander of the Criminal Intelligence Division. "Most likely, there are many others who've become ill from these smuggled drugs that we will never know about." Search warrants were served at several locations, including nearby:
Kings Corner, 6138 N. Kings Hwy, Alexandria, VA
La Despensa, 7500 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA
Rico Supermarket, 7849 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA
Margarita's Grocery, 8512 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA
El Compadre II, 8723 Cooper Road, Alexandria, VA
Police are continuing their investigation and will make arrests and charges as appropriate. That information will be compiled and released to the public at a later time.
