The Alexandria Police Department said the city responded to two separate robberies in different parts of the city last night.

In both cases, police said a weapon was displayed, but no one was injured.

Police said one occurred at 30 S. Reynolds Street just after 3 a.m. Scanner traffic indicated the robbery was at the 7-Eleven and the robbers showed a handgun before taking an ATM.

The other robbery was on the 1600 block of N. Quaker Lane less than half an hour later. That incident also involved robbers taking an ATM, according to the scanner.

A similar incident was reported last night in Fairfax on Franconia Road.

Robbers also hit multiple 7-Elevens at the same time earlier this year.

This isn’t the first time this year robbers have tried to take ATMs: a truck crashed into a Del Ray CVS in May and tried to steal an ATM.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above.
