Break-In at J & H Aitcheson Prompts Police Investigation

The Leesburg Police Department is looking into a late-night burglary that hit a local business just off South Street SE. Around 11:45 p.m. on Friday, September 5, officers were called to J & H Aitcheson, a plumbing supply store at 315 South Street SE, after someone broke in through the front door.

Police say property was stolen during the break-in, though they haven’t yet shared exactly what was taken.

This part of Leesburg—right near the historic downtown corridor—isn’t typically known for break-ins, so the incident has caught some neighbors off guard. There’s no word yet on any suspects or surveillance footage, but the investigation is ongoing.

If you saw anything suspicious in the area that night—or if you have surveillance cameras that may have captured something—Leesburg Police are asking you to give them a call at 703-771-4500.
