Prince William Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect they believe committed four armed robberies of Prince William hotels last week.

Nov. 8, police responded at 1:13 p.m. to the Wyndam Garden Hotel at 10800 Vandor Lane in Manassas to investigate an armed robbery. Police responded to a similar incident at 2:48 p.m. that same day at the Days Inn at 7611 Centreville Road in Manassas.

The next evening, police responded again to two similar incidents, this time in Woodbridge, Virginia. Police responded at 6 p.m. to one robbery that occurred at the Sleep Inn at 14080 Shoppers Best Way and then responded to another incident, 45 minutes later, at Wytestone Suites at 14525 Gideon Drive.

In addition to the four incidents that occurred on Nov. 8 and 9, police believe that same individual is responsible for the robbery of the Residence Inn in Manassas, a similar armed robbery, which occurred on Oct. 22.

“In all cases, a man of similar enters the lobby and approaches a clerk at the front desk counter. Once at the counter, the man displays a handgun and takes money before fleeing on foot,” police spokesperson, Officer Jonathan Perok said.

No injuries were reported in any of the robberies.
