The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a suspect after a child was abducted in Ashburn, Virginia on Sunday, 9 March 2025.

The mother of the child intervened right away, rescuing her child before the suspect was able to leave. The child was not injured.

Bergeron is being held at the Loudoun Adult Detention Center without bond on charges of Abduction by Force.

The LCSO asks anyone with information about this incident to call us at 703 777 1021.
