An Alexandria man has been arrested in connection to a spree of liquor store thefts around the region.
The Alexandria man, identified in a release from the Fairfax County Police Department as Joseph Womack, was charged with six counts of petit larceny after allegedly hitting six ABC stores around the region in a two-day span. Video surveilence footage shows a man grabbing high-end tequila and cognac in coats and bags and then quickly exiting the store.
