FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. - Fairfax County police are looking for a suspect behind a string of recent restaurant break-ins. FOX 5 obtained exclusive surveillance video of one of the incidents.

 Fairfax County police are determined to find the suspect, who they say has repeatedly broken into the establishments with a rock, smashing windows and climbing inside.        

Exclusive video shows the suspects standing outside of La Casa restaurant on Richmond Highway in Hybla Valley around 2:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 17.
