Four People Charged with Several Fan Robberies





Thanks to officers’ quick response and an intensive investigation, Richmond Police have arrested and charged three men and one woman in connection with several recent armed robberies in the Fan neighborhood.

Brandon E. Lathem, 21, of Centerville; Darryl L. House II, 18, of Lansdowne; Kwayee Tarty, 25, of Henrico; and Nicole A. Reynolds, 27, Henrico, have all been charged with robbery.

The victim called police at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 21 and reported the group had broken into his apartment in the 2700 block of West Grace Street and tried to rob him at gunpoint.

Though the group fled, officers quickly stopped their vehicle and arrested them nearby at the intersection of Boulevard and West Broad Street.

After further investigation, investigators have charged all four with that crime as well as the Sept. 18 armed robbery of seven men in the 800 block of North Harrison Street.

The group may also be wanted for credit card fraud out of Northern Virginia.

“Thanks to the speedy response by our officers and the good investigative work of our detectives, we were able to clear these cases and make the streets safer for residents,” Third Precinct Capt. Will Smith said.
