Fairfax County Police have announced the arrest of two suspects following a pursuit related to a felony abduction investigation in Huntington on Tuesday 🚨

Fairfax County police officers tracked 46 year-old Juan Arevalo, who was wanted for felony abduction, to the area of I-495 and Telegraph Road just before 4pm. When officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the driver of the vehicle fled, prompting a police pursuit.

During the chase, officers conducted a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle. The suspect then ran from the scene on foot. The driver, identified as 43 year-old Flor Garcia, remained at the scene, where she was taken into custody.

A coordinated search involving Fairfax County Police’s helicopter, Virginia State Police, and the Alexandria Police Department followed. A short time later, Fairfax-1 🚁 located Arevalo in a wooded area and took him into custody.

Arevalo was transported to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where he was served multiple outstanding warrants, including abduction, simple assault, petit larceny, failure to appear and an assault charge from another jurisdiction. He was also charged with obstruction of justice and is being held without bond.

Garcia was charged with felony speed to elude and was later released on a $2,000 bond.

The FBI has searched Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson’s home and devices as part of an ongoing investigation into federal government contractor Aurelio Perez-Lugones.

Perez-Lugones, a Navy veteran and systems administrator in Maryland, has been charged with unlawful retention of national defense information, according to a criminal complaint filed last week in the US District Court of Maryland. The complaint alleges that Perez-Lugones searched classified databases without authorization and printed or captured screenshots of the information.

The FBI arrived at the Virginia home of reporter Hannah Natanson and seized her phone, work and personal laptops, and a Garmin smartwatch, the Washington Post reported. “Investigators told Natanson that she is not the focus of the probe,” the newspaper also wrote.

“This past week, at the request of the Department of War, the Department of Justice and FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a Washington Post journalist who was obtaining and reporting classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a tweet. “The leaker is currently behind bars. I am proud to work alongside Secretary Hegseth on this effort. The Trump Administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our Nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country.” 👀

Police in Fairfax County took an alleged abduction suspect into custody after a chase down the Beltway ended with a successful PIT maneuver. 🚔

At around 3:54pm, Fairfax County Police Neighborhood Patrol Unit (NPU) officers spotted an SUV wanted in connection to an abduction, according to police chatter.

The driver refused to pull over for a traffic stop and a pursuit was authorized. Fairfax County Police chased the suspect onto the inner loop of I-495 at S Patrick Street, (US-1) at which point a PIT maneuver was successfully executed.

The female driver was ‘detained’ for felony eluding on scene and the male suspect fled on foot. The passenger was then shortly later spotted by Fairfax County Police’s FAIRFAX-ONE 🚁 after hiding and taken into custody by officers on ground.

Virginia State Police and Alexandria Police assisted with the apprehension. Delays remain on the Beltway as clean-up comes to an end.
