WASHINGTON — A man has been arrested and charged in 11 recent burglaries in Loudoun County in which someone entered houses using garage-door openers taken from vehicles.
Robert Williams-Dixon, 33, of no fixed address, was arrested Monday and charged with 11 counts of burglary, 11 counts of grand larceny, two counts of credit card larceny and two counts of credit card fraud, Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
The burglaries happened in the Sterling area, north of Route 7 between Oct. 13 and Nov. 2.
In each case, the sheriff’s office said, someone took a garage door opener from an unlocked vehicle in a driveway, used it to get into the garage, then got into the house through an unlocked interior garage door — all while the residents were asleep inside.
Williams-Dixon is being held without bond.
The sheriffs are in contact with law enforcement in nearby areas who have reported similar burglaries to help determine whether their cases are related.
