FAIRFAX, Va. — A CIA worker was arrested and charged with being a serial burglar responsible for more than a dozen incidents near the spy agency’s headquarters.

Fairfax County police said Tuesday that George C. Dalmas III had been charged with 17 burglaries in McLean, Va., between October and last month. Dalmas, 44, of Falls Church, faced numerous counts of burglary and grand larceny, and investigators said other charges were possible.

Investigators said Dalmas was tracked down after an intruder broke into the home of Lori Myer on Jan. 24. She was able to give police information from the license plates of the suspect’s getaway car.

The CIA said Dalmas, an administrative employee, was suspended without pay and the agency was cooperating in the investigation.
