fares >>reporter: highway robberies what many critics are calling the surge in toll costs. peak fares reaching as much as you mentioned, $40 earlier this week and then dropping to about half that yesterday and today. but according to virginia lawmakers, northern virginia is they now want to cap or even scrap the cost tosmght tonight critics met with norn virginia transportation commissioner in arlington hoping to propose a resolution heemplet in case you're wondering, the commission they received that toll revenue and in turn turn over that money for new buses and other transit option. well, the commission decided not to take action on this issue tonight, but there were still plenty of people riled up about the toll cost. loudon supervisor ron myers says for him in addition to pg contact the tolls at $5 he would also like to see the hours changed for when drivers are tolled. i know it's only four daze. but this wasn't what was told to us. we have two and a half timeframe where people are getting tolled now when it was restriction free before and those are a lot of people who are working hourly jobs coming between five:30 a.m. and 6:30 a significant toll to get to work every morning. they're taking routes in arlg to be. they're taking dw park parkway and those routes have been atrocious. if you take a closer look on your screen there, vdot release some data here showing

exit or you drive the whole entire portion of the 9 miles of the tolled portion of i66 there. so again, bottom line here in this case state and a local lawmakers are for vdo to to either cap the costs

the scenes to show us the lengths that some of these criminals will go to. this in virginia is a felony. it's a little metal hook that you go in for certain types of sensors and it's what goes in the side to separate the sensors . we arrested one girl who was waiferg it as an earning . this box here is a felony in virginia because this box has been lined with aluminum number foil. someone can take a box like this in a bag, go into a fitter with an item with the sensor on it. place it in the box. the aluminum foil blocks the sensor receptors in the store. some even go as far as to line shopping bags with aluminum foil. the christmas anti theft team has recovered counterfeit cash as well. they've recovered more stolen season. there's been a large increase in stolen fraud, stealing items and

season there have been no active cases of credit card fraud. it seems the new chips on our cards are wrk working. but that has thieves going back to old school , back to pick pocketing. we have seen more cases of individuals where they get their bill folds stolen out of their purse or a gentleman gets his wallet lifted. there have been at least three cases this holiday season where women are out to ethan they're targeted from behind. they have their purse hanging from behind it, so they can't see it, someone behind them, grabs the wallet out, able to access the credit cards and then slips the wallet back in time. sometimes they don't even know. sometime they go and remove the second or third credit card, not the top one. so even if you go to pay the check, you usually keep the card you use most often on top, you may not even notice. they say the best idea is to keep your wallet, your purse in front of you at all times so you can see what's going on. and the other big tip we always talk about this, but leaving items in your parked cars. they are another seeing cars broken into in the lots and people have valuables right out there on the seats and they're visible. sometimes the cars

mouth. it is not a replacement for asthma medicines , but it will prevent your symptoms from getting worse . i guess it makes sense. i'm so glad scarfs are in fashion. i'm going to make sure i know where mine is. i think i need one starting tonight. tomorrow will be colder than today was and most of the day tomorrow, nothing to worry about in terms of snow. if we see anything it would be very late tomorrow night, but mostly saturday. most of the time if we do get the snow which changed today. all the models pushed it farther to the west into d.c., western suburbs, but most of the time it's snowing it will also be above freezing. this may be a case where if we see some accumuti elevated surfaces such as bridge s a and roadways so heads up for that. we start with a look at your weather headlines. today not a bad day, but tomorrow it's a cloudier day and it's a little colder on our friday. we may only see the high temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s. that et cetera s the stage forth possibility of some snow around here by primarily early saturday. there is a little system that will start getting into southern maryland tomorrow. by the way there's a second chance for a few more rounds on saturday of a separate system. two chances for some snow. sunday looking even colder. the system that brings you the saturday night flurries is a reinforcing shot of colder air that is going to be coming in. speaking of the cold air coming in across the great lakes. across the lake shore niefn in my hometown they've had about 7 inches, look ing for 12. buffalo had 12 to 1 passing bias well. i had to get in on closer to texas because it looks like there is snow north to west of houston. this is the system that we're going to be watching over the next 24 hours to 36 hours as it starts to develop and ride up the coast and as mentioned yesterday this looked more of a waive. today it looks a bit more a.m. if id. that sharp cut off between snow and and no snow is getting closer to d.c. so the 95 corridor may see our first flakes and maybe our first accumulating snow. that would be primarily during the day on the saturday. let's compare a couple models and then i'll throw out my first guess at what we may be looking at on saturday in terms snow. i'm labeling this the rpm, that is the rapid precision model. we have that in house here at fox5. at 6:00 tomo trying to bring a little snow to shinning teeing and then east of richmond. you're real close to a little bit of snow. that's tomorrow. it doesn't get into d.c., though. friday at 11:00, everything is still south and east. we've got clouds here. but at eight in the morning our rapid precision model on saturday trying to get it closer . that's in to charles county. by the noon hour it gets it just to the beltway and then it starts pulling away. that's one mold. let's compare it to the very important euro modern, the european model that so many people pay attention to it. snow getting closer to ocean city, but it brings snow in here faster. 7 a.m. saturday . that's important because it would be colder and it could stick a little bit better and look at this, it take s it well west. almost to hagerstown at the noon hour on saturday. it's still hanging around at 6:00 on saturday. by 9:00 it's just trying to get across the bay. and that would you can see the second blast of snow coming across the mountains . i i am going to put in the green area. the possibility of a coating on grass up to two inches. i think the bulk of this will fall if the rpm model is ripe. farther west you get some snow showers and a mix at the coast. again so much could change if it moves in faster if the euro is right we're talking about more snow and that's all mostly on saturday. so hopefully it doesn't have too bifg an impact on you. boy, it's going to be a cold start tomorrow morning, but again friday is generally a dry here locally. maybe some accumulation for the savment saturday should also get b up to about 41-degrees. we're colder on sunday at 39. our next chance of some flurries may be on tuesday and most of next week still looking p how about that wednesday high treatment of 35. i'm definitely going to be hunting for my scarf >> up next at 10:30 is the nfl becoming too vial violent. i'll tell you how fans are responding after we a week where we saw some brutal hits on the field. this new
