Falls Church Business Robbed by Four Armed Men

No one injured in barrage of bullets fired after robbery.

Fairfax County Police are looking for four Hispanic men armed with handguns who held up a Falls Church business and fired several shots at a man inside the store today.

Investigators are still on the scene.

The four men walked into Sabina’s Joyerias, 3403 Payne St. in Falls Church, at about 10:35 a.m., drew handguns and announced the robbery, said county police spokeswoman Officer Shelley Broderick. One of the two employees in the store chased after the men who fled on foot and one of the gunmen fired several shots at the man, she said. The man was not shot and no one else was injured in the robbery.
