Ibrahim Hussein was arrested on Wednesday. He's facing charges of burglary, hit-and-run, reckless driving and more.

Police were called out to the area of Richmond Highway and Lorton Road around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, after the delivery van crashed into multiple cars. Investigators say Hussein stole a delivery van in the Mount Vernon area, while the driver was dropping off packages.
