3 arrested, 4 firearms recovered in Fairfax Co. golf course robbery

Three suspects, all 18 or younger, have been arrested in an ongoing investigation of a golf cart robbery and weapon brandishing at a Reston, Virginia, golf course that took place Wednesday, according to police.

Deon Luangraj, 18, a resident of Lynchburg, Virginia, was charged with possession of a firearm with an altered serial number. Two additional suspects, aged 14 and 16, were charged with additional robbery, firearm and narcotics offenses.

On Wednesday around 6:41 p.m., officers responded to the Hidden Creek Country Club at 1711 Clubhouse Rd. for a report of weapon brandishing.

A country club employee said he had gotten into a verbal altercation with a group of teenagers who he’d previously suspected of stealing golf carts. During that altercation, the employee said one of the teens brandished a handgun.

Later that same evening after 8 p.m., officers were called to the country club again for a robbery. Police said that employees reported a group of teenagers who had stolen and crashed a golf cart before robbing a party of golfers for their cart at gunpoint and driving away.

The arrests also led to the officers’ recovery of four firearms as well as unidentified narcotics, police said.
