One woman heard a loud noise and went outside her bathroom to stand face to face with a man. He took off and sprinted out of the house. About five months later this man along with his wife and another man were arrested and charged with burglarizing Fairfax and Loudoun homes owned by South Asians. The two men and woman were breaking into homes looking for gold because Asian families usually have 22-karat gold items in their homes being passed down generation after generation. The Asian families worked together and now keep their priceless belongings in the bank.
The burglars had 10 counts thrown out because the police had not conclusively linked them to incriminating evidence found in their rental car and hotel room. After that more charges were dropped and only a few remained on the three. More on the story can be found at the link below.
