From the Fairfax County Police Logs:

MOB ASSAULT/ ROBBERY: A 16-year-old teenage boy was assaulted and robbed on his way
home from work around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 10. The boy was riding his bike in the area
of Fox Mill Road and Sunrise Valley Drive when four other teenage boys came out of the
woods; the victim recognized three of them. One suspect reportedly pushed the victim off his
bicycle and another suspect kicked and assaulted him. They took his cell phone and fled. The
two other teens did not participate in the robbery. The victim returned home and called police.
He did not require medical treatment at that time. Officers located the suspects in the area. The
