The Alexandria Police Department is investigating a regional larceny rampage, with three suspects accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of products and fleeing in a stolen red Acura SUV with stolen license plates.
The first incident was reported on Monday, April 15, when $2,457 in merchandise was stolen from Home Depot at 400 S. Pickett Street. The suspects, three Black males, were videoed walking out of the store and into a red Acura MDX with stolen Maryland license plates, according to a recently released search warrant affidavit.
