A D.C. woman wanted in connection with a robbery of hair extensions at a Woodbridge beauty store this summer was arrested Sept. 28.

Samiya Damiyon Neal, 24, is charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, grand larceny, and assault and battery, Prince William County police Master Officer Renee Carr said in a news release.

Police are still trying to identify two other people, a man and woman, involved in the crime.

On June 15, three people entered the Beauty 4 U store at 2542 Prince William Parkway and began taking hair extensions from the shelves. When the three attempted to leave with the stolen items, an employee confronted them near the front door.

During the encounter, the male suspect sprayed the employee with pepper spray before they all fled in a red Honda Accord with Maryland license plates: 2EK4356.

The employee was treated at an area hospital for minor injuries.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
