I left Virginia shortly after this happened so I don't know the outcome. Don't know if there were more incidents or if they caught anyone. Very sad. They interviewed the ladies, but didn't show their faces, but it was very sad to watch and listen to them. There are sickos everywhere, but it's good to know when it happens close to home so you can be extra vigilant when danger is imminent. There's a big difference, IMO, between a "smash and grab" and an actual personal assault on someone.

The difference is in Virginia the news was reported in a timely manner, I assume. It has been two months since this incident happened, and this is the first we have heard of it.
The news organizations are doing a disservice to the community by not reporting it, and allowing others to be vulnerable while the perpetrator is free to commit other crimes.
