Fairfax County police detectives, in coordination with the U.S. Marshals Taskforce, have arrested a 24-year-old Pennsylvania man for his alleged role in a June robbery in Tysons in which suspects stole more than $60,000 worth of merchandise.
During that robbery, which occurred at a high-end retail store in Tysons Galleria, multiple suspects took handbags and one allegedly discharged a fire extinguisher at a loss-prevention employee to escape from the scene. No one was injured during the robbery, police said.
The suspects fled in a white Alfa Romeo that likely had stolen or altered license plates, Fairfax County police said.

Cunningham is being held without bond. Upon completion of the legal process in Pennsylvania, Cunningham will be remanded to Fairfax County.
