Prince William police have arrested five more people who they said were involved in several residential and com-mercial burglaries in the Woodbridge area over the last six months.

On May 31, an undisclosed amount of money was stolen from the Outback Steak House at 14580 Potomac Mills Road, in Woodbridge.

On Jan. 2, a home in the 1400 Block of Fond Hollow Lane in Woodbridge was burglarized.
