Police: Four Arrested in Lake Ridge Burglary Investigation

Police charged four Maryland men with burglary and grand larceny after a Lake Ridge homeowner reported the loss of an $800 watch, Prince William County Police spokesperson Jonathan Perok said. 

District Heights residents Antoine Tate, 22, and Darius Bryant, 18, and Forestville residents Jarel Dickerson and Clifton Johnson, both 18, were arrested on Monday, April 22, the same day the burglary reportedly took place. Their court date and bond information is unavailable.

Police initially responded to the 11600 block of Nellings Place at 2:47 p.m. for the report of a burglary in progress. The caller told police that four unknown men left the back of a neighbor's house.

"Officers arrived on scene quickly and determined that the suspects made entry into the residence through a rear window which had been pried open," Perok said. "A watch, valued around $800, was reported missing."

The neighbor also described the vehicle that the suspects reportedly left in. An officer found a vehicle matching this description near Springwoods Drive and Stallion Court, and all four vehicle occupants were arrested.

"This incident does not appear to be random," Perok said.
