Police: Woodbridge Man Charged With Abducting Woman For a Week

Police found and arrested the suspect at the Inns of Virginia in Woodbridge.

Police have charged Woodbridge resident Riaz Noory, 22, with abduction and attempted abduction after a Lorton woman reported being held against her will for a week at his house, Prince William County Police spokesperson Jonathan Perok said. 

Police originally responded to Thenia Place at 1:09 a.m. on Sept. 25 for the report of a domestic incident. The victim told police that she and Noory were in an argument.

"During the encounter, the accused allegedly attempted to forcibly remove the victim from the residence. Other witnesses were able to break up the altercation, at which point, the accused left the area," Perok said. "While investigating this incident, the victim reported to police that she was held against her will by the accused between Sept. 14 and Sept. 21 at his residence on Hunterbrook Drive. The victim reported that she attempted to leave the residence multiple times during that period of time but the accused prevented her from doing so."
