WASHINGTON — The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department is working together with the Leesburg police to track down a man suspected of robbing three Virginia 7-Eleven stores.
The first armed robbery occurred at 2:41 a.m. on Monday inside the 7-Eleven located at 110 Dry Mill Rd. SW in Leesburg. Shortly thereafter, at 2:54 a.m., Leesburg police responded to a second 7-Eleven store two miles away at 700 Fieldstone Dr. NE.

The suspect fled the store with the deputy chasing after him on foot, but he was able to escape in a getaway car.
Here are the locations of the three robberies:
