Suspected theft ring from New York busted in Tysons
Three suspects who are believed to be part of a New York theft ring were arrested at Tysons Mall Tuesday. All three are in jail without bond.
TYSONS, Va. - A trio from New York was busted in Virginia after police say the thieves took over $15,000 worth of stolen merchandise.
On Tuesday night, around 9 o'clock, a Sunglass Hut employee called the Fairfax County Police Department to report a theft. The Tysons Urban Team unit drove to Tysons Corner Center and were able to locate the suspects — who were still in the mall – on surveillance cameras.
Detectives caught up with Jordan Pastrana-Roncancio, Dayana Valentina Pastana-Roncacio, and Hansbleidy Katerin Sanabria-Suarez arrested them, and took the out-of-towners into custody.

NYC crime ring broken up in Tysons after fraud investigation
Police in Fairfax County say they've broken up a crime ring in town from New York City. The suspects are accused of attempting to scam a local Louis Vuitton store. But as FOX 5's Josh Rosenthal reports live in Tysons - there's a lot more to the case.
Last week, officers in McLean, arrested three other suspects from New York who had a vast collection of fake driver's licenses, and stolen credit cards. They also found a USPS mail carrier uniform, a USPS arrow key, and mail that didn't belong to them.
A Louis Vuitton employee alerted police to the suspects in this case after they tried to make a $21,000 purchase with a stolen credit card. They are also being held at the Fairfax County Detention Center.
Detectives are asking anyone with additional information on the suspects and their alleged illegal actions to contact them.
