Suspicious Note Suspect Identified in Manassas

The suspect in a four-month string of suspicious notes left at Manassas area homes has been identified, but is not currently expected to face charges, according to Manassas Police.

Between December and March, there were approximately 20 incidents that seemed to be related, including notes left at homes, along with suspicious activity and vandalism.

The man, whose name was not released by police, reportedly admitted to responsibility for all the suspicious and threatening notes left between December 2012 and March 2013, according to Nevill.

"Further investigation revealed that the suspect has a mental disability," Nevill said in a statement. "In coordination with mental health services, the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, and the young man’s family, it was decided that public safety and his welfare will be best served through continued and improved services and supervision." 

Police note that the suspect isn't currently facing charges and the suspect's family is working with victims to provide restitution of property damage.
