Neighbors Help Nab Burglars

FREDERICKSBURG POLICE INCIDENTS WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2011

BURGLARY:

3000 block Normandy Ave, July 19 4:10 p.m. A resident reported that she saw a suspicious male subject entering the home of a neighbor, and she also saw a suspicious female subject in the front yard. The witness called the neighbor, who was not at home and confirmed that nobody had permission to be inside his house. The witness’ husband approached the house just as the male suspect exited the back door, and he gave chase to both suspects as they fled on foot down the nearby canal path. Responding officers located and detained both suspects at the CVS on Jefferson Davis Hwy, and the witnesses later positively identified them as the offenders. James Wellborn, 26, and Dianna Wellborn, 24, of no fixed address were arrested and each charged with breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony and conspiracy. Both Wellborns were incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY:

400 block Jefferson Davis Hwy, July 20 1:30 a.m. A homeless woman reported that she was walking northbound beside Route 1 when she was approached by two male subjects, one of whom grabbed her from behind and wrapped his arm around her neck. The victim thought that a knife was placed at her throat, although she did not see the weapon. The assailant pulled at the victim’s backpack, causing several items to fall out onto the road; he then let her go and both suspects left the area on foot. The victim ran to the nearby 7-11 on Amaret St and called 911. The suspects were described as Hispanic males in their 20’s. One was wearing jeans and a blue shirt with multi-colored stripes across the chest, the second suspect was wearing jeans and a gray shirt with a single blue stripe across the chest.
