Three armed suspects are accused of breaking into a Virginia home and assaulting two people inside during a violent burglary incident last week.
Jaquan Ross, 32, of Lorton, and Elijah Thomas, 24, of Dumfries, are being held without bond, while investigators search for the third suspect, Fairfax County police revealed on Friday.
At 5:45 a.m. on Monday, officers had responded to a burglary in the 1300 block of Spring Hill Road in McLean.
Police say three suspects forcibly entered the victim’s residence, brandished a firearm and demanded money.

With assistance from helicopter and K9 units, officers responded to assist with the search. One of the suspects was spotted by a police helicopter attempting to conceal himself by lying on the ground, according to the Fairfax County Police Department. Officers arrested Ross at the scene.
Ross was charged with three counts of abduction, three counts of robbery, burglary, malicious wounding, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
As detectives continued their investigation, they identified Thomas as one of the men involved.
On Thursday, Thomas was taken into custody by Fairfax County Police Department’s Fugitive Track and Apprehension Unit.
