Oak Hill break-ins?
The Fox Mill web site has some information, perhaps anecdotal, on neighborhood break-ins and a man living in the woods. Feel free to post a comment if you can confirm any of these crimes.
The admin here does periodically check Fairfax County police logs looking for stories and usually there is not much in the Fair Oaks district to report. If I can confirm any of these from official police reports I’ll post what I find.
