Four armed robberies were committed in residential areas of Fairfax County in a short period Thursday night, and police said all four might be connected.
The crimes occurred between 10:15 and 11:30 p.m. in an area spanning about eight miles in the southeastern part of the county, below the Capital Beltway, police said. The first three robberies were in the Franconia-Springfield section, the last near the Huntington-Groveton area.
In the first, a 27-year-old woman was robbed in the 6900 block of Kingstowne Village Parkway, police said. Shortly afterward, robbers demanded money from a 22-year-old woman in the 5900 block of Norham Drive, police said. She was allegedly struck with a gun.
Then, a 20-year-old man was robbed and punched in the 6300 block of Dana Avenue and a 25-year-old man was held up in the 6500 block of Quander Road, police said.
In each case, there were three robbers, who were described as black, in their early 20s, about 5-foot-10 and 170 to 200 pounds, police said.
