FCPD said that officers first responded to the Macy’s in Tysons Corner Center just before 2:15 a.m. after a community member heard a burglary alarm go off. In a news release, officials said that “the witness saw a man pushing a cart filled with merchandise away from the store, which prompted him to contact police.”
