At least four people are now suspected in a series of armed robberies at 7-Eleven stores near Manassas and in Woodbridge.
Most recently, two men were arrested on April 17, 2020, and were both charged in connection to the robberies while they were already in a Fairfax County jail.
Victor Owusu Obinim, 19, of 4732 Kenmore Avenue in Alexandria, and Michael Ackah, 20, of 5335 Duke Street of Alexandria, both face charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime, and usage of a firearm in the crime in connection to the 7-Eleven heists.
