A man’s feathered accomplices may be the key to putting him behind bars following what Fairfax County police describe as the robbery of a commercial business.
Police say Tuesday at around 8 a.m., a man robbed a McDonald’s on Arlington Boulevard in the Seven Corners area.
The robber displayed a knife and demanded money. Authorities won’t say how much he got away with.
Images from security cameras at the 7-Eleven next door show the same suspect, a man in his late 20s or early 30s, with tattoos and a black cowboy hat, with two parrots on the hat and a third on his shoulder. He left the area in a blue Ford SUV.

(The birds, however, may actually be innocent, as they were not present during the robbery at the McDonald’s.)
