Arrest made in naked burglaries in Centreville: officials

Nude burglar strikes again in Fairfax County, police say

Fairfax County police are asking for the public’s help after new surveillance video shows the suspected "nude burglar" attempting another break-in in Centreville.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. - Officials are expected to announce the arrest of a naked burglary suspect in Centreville on Monday afternoon. 

The backstory:

Officers responded one morning earlier this month to a home on Palmerston Square for a report of a suspicious person.

According to Fairfax County police, a homeowner contacted authorities after receiving an alert from a home surveillance system. Video captured just after 5 a.m. showed a man approaching the rear sliding glass door of the home.

Investigators say the man was naked, with what appeared to be an article of clothing on his head.

Police say the suspect looked inside the home and tried to open the door. When he was unable to get inside, he ran off toward a nearby wooded area.

What's next:

Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis will provide an update Monday afternoon providing details on the arrest.
