The Stafford Sherifff’s Office says the recent knife point robberies in the Vista Woods and Foxwood subdivisions have resulted in the arrest of a 23-year-old Stafford man.
The Sheriff’s Office tells us that on June 2nd at approximately 8:37 p.m., deputies responded to an attempted robbery on Foxwood Drive. The victim was able to flee from the suspect during the incident. Less than 20 minutes later, deputies responded to Vista Woods Road for a successful robbery. Since June 2nd, both deputies and detectives have been working to identify the suspects involved as two more knife point robberies were committed, most recently on June 8th.
Detectives were able to identity one of the suspects as Peter Brown. On June 9th at approximately 4:07 p.m. the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT Team conducted a high-risk traffic stop on Brown’s vehicle, as detectives in CID executed a search warrant on his residence. Brown was taken into custody without incident. Knives that were described in the robberies were located, as well as, numerous personal belongings of the victims.
Brown is charged with two counts of armed robbery and attempted armed robbery. He’s being held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ryan Wilbur says more charges may be obtained at a later date, and detectives are currently working to identify the second suspect.
Wilbur says authorities were aided by tips from the community and Ring footage.
