Loudoun County, VA (August 21, 2022) – A North Carolina man has been charged after a crash involving a stolen vehicle out of Fairfax and attempting to carjack several vehicles.
Deputies responded to the area Harry Byrd Highway (Rt. 7) and Yellow Schoolhouse Road in Round Hill yesterday at approximately 3:57 p.m. for a report of a reckless driver who had spun-out and crashed into the median. Witnesses reported after crashing the vehicle, the suspect, identified as Collin R. Guilford, 20 of Greenville, NC, approached drivers of three vehicles and attempted to carjack their vehicles.
