 An unclothed burglar has been terrorizing a Virginia town until officers chased down the nude man and took him into custody. 

During a news conference on Monday, Major Jim Curry had this to say in regards to the citizens' reaction to the arrest of 21-year-old Sedrick Walker;

"As we stood by and he was taken into custody, that community was literally lined up the side of the road cheering and clapping. I've never seen anything like it, where there were audible cheers and shouting for him being taken into custody."

This response came from the Virginia London Towne neighborhood in Centerville,  Virginia. The area has been on edge since a series of bizarre break-ins by a naked man. 

The arrest of Sedrick came as the result of a long concerted effort by law enforcement and ended in a foot chase.

At 4:45 a.m. on the morning of Monday, April 13th, an officer working the case spotted a man, wearing no clothes, on camera. Officers then dispatched drones to track the suspect's movements. 

A short time later, a 20-year veteran of the force, attempted to confront Sedrick, and he fled. That is when the foot chase of the suspect occurred.

However, Sedrick was able to elude officers at that time but was tracked by drones to his home, where he was later taken into custody. 

The saga of the naked bandit began in early March when a person was getting ready for work when a nude man entered a bedroom inside of the home. Sedrick fled the home when confronted by the home owner.

Two days later, a woman was awoken by her dog barking and discovered a naked man inside of her home. Sedrick, again, fled the home .

The very next day, a person heard footsteps in their home and discovered a naked man standing in their doorway. Once again, Sedrick fled the scene.

A break came in the case when Sedrick was captured on surveillance video completely naked with his face covered, on April 1st. The investigation went into overdrive at that point until it's dramatic conclusion on Monday. 

The community was elated with the arrest and breathed a collective sigh of relief. It's not clear what Sedrick's motives for his actions were, and people in the community believe something terrible could have eventually happened.

Sedrick Walker has no criminal history. He is now facing charges of two counts of burglary and entering to commit a misdemeanor, four counts of indecent exposure, two counts of trespassing wearing a mask in public and obstruction of justice. 

He is currently being held without bond at Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
