Man accused of stealing credit cards out of gym lockers in Fairfax County

A Maryland man, wanted on nearly 140 warrants for allegedly stealing from gyms across Fairfax County and other parts of the region, has been arrested.
Robert Brockington, 50, is accused of targeting gyms since December 2024 — breaking into lockers, stealing personal belongings and credit cards, the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) said.
He then used the stolen cards at nearby stores before victims could report the theft. In multiple incidents, police said he used bolt cutters to forcibly gain access to secured lockers.
