The Pozez JCC. [Washington Jewish Week]

Two men broke into and stole property from the Pozez Jewish Community Center at 8900 Little River Turnpike shortly before midnight on Jan. 12, the Fairfax County Police Department reports.

Both suspects are described as 28 to 35 years old and between 5 feet nine inches and six feet tall. They might have been driving a silver mid to late-2000s Dodge Caravan.

“According to the initial assessment by Fairfax County Police, there is no indication that the break-in was motivated by anti-Semitism,” JCC Executive Director Jeff Dannick states. The center is closed Jan. 13 to facilitate the investigation.
