Seeking Information

<bt>The Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's assistance in identifying two female suspects caught on surveillance video who allegedly were involved in a larceny at a local restaurant.

According to the Sheriff's Office, on Sept. 24 shortly before closing at the Ned Devine's Irish Village in Sterling a white female approached the serving stand at the bar where two employees had left her purses. As the server walked away, the suspect grabbed the bags and then met up with a black female who was standing with a group of males.

The two suspects then went into the bathroom where they removed items from the purses including cash and jewelry. The purses were later recovered from a trash can in the restroom.

The suspects are seen leaving the bar as a group on video surveillance. Also caught on the video are a black male wearing a long-sleeve polo shirt with broad, light- and dark-colored horizontal stripes and a light-colored collar, a black male with a red shirt with small, dark-colored stripes and a necklace as well as another black male with a cartoon print shirt and corn rows.

Anyone who can identify these suspects is asked to contact Investigator D. Orr of the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475. If the caller wishes to remain anonymous, call Loudoun Crime Solvers at 703-777-1919. If the information leads to an arrest and indictment the caller could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
