After a short pursuit the vehicle stopped in the area of Bruceton Mills Circle. Approximately 80 items were discovered in the vehicle including CD car Stereos, two wallets, jewelry and several CD cases filled with assorted CDs
The driver of the vehicle, 26-year-old Jose Julio Otero-Ayala, was charged with three counts of grand larceny, eluding, possession of burglarious tools, and credit card theft. He is currently being held at the Loudoun Adult Detention Center without bond.
