It’s hard to place the business that was robbed but based on the block, it was probably the  Sunoco station at the corner of Coppermine and Centreville Road. Since it was almost 3 AM, it was likely the gas station as few other establishments would be open at that hour. From Fairfax County police:

ROBBERY, 13400 block of Coppermine Road, 3/11/13, 2:50 a.m. A masked man entered the business, implied he had a weapon, and demanded money. The clerk gave him cash and he fled. The helicopter and several officers assisted in the search for the suspect, but he was not found.

Sterling bank robbed by man wearing Mitt Romney mask

As a rule this site concentrates on activities in or right around Oak Hill. Occasionally a story from adjacent areas (Sterling in this case) is interesting enough to highlight, like this one. Not only did the guy wear a Mitt Romney mask, but went to each of the five tellers at the branch office in order to get more money:

A bank branch in Sterling, Va. was held up Thursday afternoon, and the fact that the robber stopped at every teller’s window is the least bizarre of the circumstances. (To us, at least; the FBI is fixated on that fact.)

The guy was wearing a mask that appears to resemble former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican Party’s nominee in this year’s presidential election. NBC4 reports that the armed suspect entered a Wells Fargo branch in Sterling and began demanding money from each of the five tellers. It was a scene that can only be told by the emotive tones of Pat Collins:
