An Oak Hill man was killed when he was hit by a tractor-trailer on Fairfax County Parkway Monday morning.

Fairfax County Police said Clayton F. Young, 54, parked his Cadillac Escalade on Fairfax County Parkway near the Pinecrest Road overpass and Fox Mill Road about 6:30 a.m.

The driver of a Freightliner tractor-trailer was driving southbound when the victim stepped in front of the SUV and into the path of the oncoming truck, police said.

The driver of the truck unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the pedestrian. The truck hit the pedestrian and then stopped. The pedestrian hit the roadway and sustained life-threatening injuries, police said.

Young, who lives on Oakton Chase Court , was transported to Reston Hospital Center and was pronounced dead a short time later.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured and neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the crash.

The Navy Federal Credit Union ATM at 1821 Fountain Dr. in Reston was among three banks recently discovered as a target for ATM skimmers, Fairfax County Police said.

Police have a released a video of the skimming device being installed and removed at that location on July 9 and 11. Other recent devices have been found at Navy Federal Credit Union branches at 11180 Lee Hwy. in Fairfax (July 1 and July 6) and 7678-D Richmond Hwy. in Alexandria (June 28 and July 6).

Skimming is the practice of affixing a device  mouth of an ATM. When users put their card in, it secretly swipes credit and debit card information.

Earlier this summer, Fairfax County Police asked for help in finding suspects in four area skimming situations. None of those incidents were near Reston.

At that time, police said that banks had identified affected customers in those incidents. However, the public should still check their bank statements closely for any discrepancies. Police also urge the public to closely look at ATMs when they are making financial transactions.

Tuesday, Aug. 5 is National Night Out, and the Fairfax  County Police and the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office have a full slate of events planned in and around Reston.

National Night Out is an annual event that promotes community involvement in crime prevention activities, establishes partnerships between public safety agencies and the community, fosters neighborhood camaraderie and sends a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for diverse communities in our area to interact with sheriff’s deputies in friendly settings and get to know us better,” Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid said. “It is also a chance for us to listen to community concerns so that we may better serve the public.”

Sheriff’s deputies will visit Reston’s  Southgate Community Center from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday. Officers from the Fairfax County Police’s Reston District Station will also sponsor a free cookout at Southgate from 5 to 7 p.m.

The Fairfax County Police Department is encouraging neighborhoods to turn their lights on and visit outside with their neighbors from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday.

Officers from the FCPD’ Reston District Station will also have planned activities. Some nearby:

National Night Out began in 1984,when  2.5 million Americans across 400 communities in 23 states took part in the event, introduced by the National Association of Town Watch. Today, the event involves over 37.8 million people in 16,000 communities from all 50 states, the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office says.

Spurred in part by the fatal crash of a Reston teen on a mini bike earlier this year, Fairfax County Police are undergoing safety and law enforcement training about two-wheeled motorized vehicles.

Law enforcement officials say there were 600 crashes — 12 of them fatal — among riders of mopeds, mini-bikes and motorscooters in Virginia in 2013. Alcohol was a contributing factor in 20 percent of all accidents and 10 percent involved excessive speed, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.

The DMV says 1,967 people have been injured in 2,062 moped crashes over the past five years.

Fairfax County Police do not keep stats on mopeds, mini-bikes and other similar vehicles on county streets, they say they see anecdotal evidence of growing popularity. Warm weather and high gas prices may be possible contributors.

A new state law governing mopeds went into effect July 1 requiring owners to register with the DMV.

Virginia law requires moped drivers to be at least age 16; drivers and riders must wear a Virginia State Police-approved helmet. Drivers are also required to wear a face shield and add safety glasses or goggles if they are riding a moped that lacks a windshield.

State law also says that it is illegal to drive a moped if your driver’s license is suspended or revoked for convictions of DUI, underage consumption of alcohol, refusing a blood or breath test, or driving while on a suspended or revoked license for a DUI-related offense.

A bike is considered a motorcycle if it can go over 35 mph. Motorcycles are subject to a different set of regulations, including requiring a motorcycle endorsement on the driver’s operator license.

Mini-bikes, such as the one the Reston teen was driving in the May accident, have seat heights less than 24 inches high and are considered “motor-driven cycles.” They are not required to be registered with the state of have a license plate.

Those bikes are supposed to be for entertainment on private property and are not street-legal, Fairfax County Police said.

Officer Joseph Moore, instructor of the recent FCPS motorbike training, says that mini-bikes’ low line of sight — which may not be higher than the bumper of a car — make them especially dangerous on roadways.

“The best safety tip I can give you is be smart and be careful,” he said. “Keep in mind you are not as visible as you think you may be.”

As Reston prepares to become a transit-oriented community, it is also preparing to for urban-style issues. Among them: The opportunity for crime.

Metro’s first five Silver Line stations, including Wiehle-Reston East, open on Saturday. Fairfax County Police

Chief Ed Roessler says that combining an increased population with urban-style gathering spots does increase the chances for crime. But it doesn’t mean it has to increase actual crime rates.

“The opportunity for crime is more prevalent when you open up a Metro station,” says Roessler. “What you see are breaking into cars late at night and more people traveling corridors from platform to garage and pedestrian pathways. That is what we are concerned about and we have taken action to prevent that.”

Roessler says FCPD has been planning for crime prevention around the new transit areas for many years — about as long as Metro’s five-year course of building the Silver Line.

The FCPD, boosted by additional funding from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to add nine positions to the department, created the Tysons Urban Team in 2013. The police department’s five-year strategic plan calls for a similar unit in Reston, says Roessler.

However, officers at all stations have been undergoing urban police training for much longer, the chief said. Reston Town Center has always had bike and foot patrols — two of the core urban policing strategies. Additional bike and foot patrols are also in place at Hunters Woods Village Center, and will be at the Wiehle-Reston East Metro Station.

Crime around Metro stations is actually quite low in Virginia, says Metro. The transportation agency says there were 7.1 serious crimes per million riders overall in 2013, with far more in D.C. and parts of Maryland. The majority — 70 percent — were thefts, says Metro Police Chief Ron Pavlik. He said that the Virginia stations are some of the safest in the system.

“Typically, crime on Metro is reflective of crime rates in the surrounding communities,” he says. “We don’t see a lot of ‘Part I’ (violent) offenses in Virginia.”

Fairfax County saw a drop in every violent crime category in 2013. In the Reston District in 2013, there were 654 assaults (compared to 765 the previous year). There was a rise in robberies though, from 27 in 2012 to 37 in 2013.

Still, Metro’s 491 sworn officers are being prepared to prevent crime. The agency hired 26 officers and 15 civilian employees in advance of the Silver Line opening. Transit police have trained with county police. Reston District Station officers have also done safety seminars for students, said Lt. Ken Baine, Reston Assistant Commander.

Pavlik says riders will see a high police presence the first few weeks the Silver Line is open. But riders still need to be aware to stay safe. He offers these tips:

• Be aware of your surroundings. Put yourself close to other customers if you feel you are being followed.
• Put your cell phone away when not in use.
• If you see something, say something. You can text tips to Metro police dispatch at “MyMTPD” or 202-962-2121 or 911.
• Use the emergency call buttons located throughout each station. It will ring through to the station manager.

A man was injured in Reston when two suspects robbed and assaulted him early Wednesday, Fairfax County Police said.

The man was walking at 12:20 a.m. in the 11700 block of Sunset Hills Road, near Plaza America, when the two suspects approached him, police said.

The suspects assaulted the victim and took property, police said..

The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Both suspects were described as black males, about 17 to 22 years old and about 5 feet 6 inches tall.

Fairfax County Police said a sobriety checkpoint at Fairfax County Parkway and Walnut Branch Road Saturday resulted in five arrests for Driving While Intoxicated.

Police said 618 vehicles passed through the checkpoint. In addition to the DWI arrests, police also issued six summonses.
