As reported in Private Officer International, an 18-year-old Fairfax, VA man has been arrested for a second time this week after police said he tried to steal money from a local grocery store by posing as an armored car guard.
Fairfax City Police arrested Hodifa Abdulhakim Tunalli, of 11328 Westbrook Mill Lane in Fairfax, almost immediately after he tried to fraudulently collect a cash deposit from Shoppers Food Warehouse, at 9622 Main St. Tunalli entered the store with a BB gun at about 8 a.m. and "stated he was there to pick up the day's money deposit," police said.
"When the man could not provide identification, employees became suspicious and refused to give him the money while simultaneously calling police. No one in the business was injured," police said.
Police arrested Tunalli on Feb. 11 after he allegedly tried to steal a car from Fairfax Auto Gallery. Earlier on Saturday, he stole a computer bag from Best Buy, at 9652 Main St., after posing as an armored car guard. After the Feb. 11 arrest, he was released after posting a $3,000 bond.
When Tunalli was arrested on Friday morning, law enforcement officers found a variety of weapons, including paintball guns, BB guns and Airsoft guns, in the suspect's car. He has been charged with attempted grand larceny and petit larceny. Tunalli is currently being held at the Adult Detention Center without bail
