After business hours, in the early morning of Monday, January 13, there was a burglary at our JCC. According to the initial assessment by Fairfax County Police, there is no indication that the break-in was motivated by anti-Semitism.
The J will open for business as usual on Tuesday, January 14th at 6:30am and run its normal program schedule.
Thank you for your understanding regarding the closure on Monday due to the burglary. The police were able to conduct a thorough investigation and have posted this description of the incident in its Weekend Recap:
COMMERCIAL BURGLARY: 8900 Little River Turnpike (Pozez Jewish Community Center), 1/12/20, 11:54 p.m. Two men broke into the location and stole property. Both suspects are described as 28 to 35 years old and between 5’9” – 6’ tall. The suspects may be driving a silver mid to late 2000’s Dodge Caravan.
Here's a link to the full Fairfax County weekend report.
We continue to be optimistic that this case will be solved and the perpetrators brought to justice.
We'll look forward to seeing you soon at the J.
