Suspect Sought in Bus Stop Robbery


Richmond Police detectives need the public’s help to identify the man in the attached photos who is a suspect in a robbery earlier this month.

At approximately 4:45 p.m. on November 19, the Richmond Police Department was called to a bus stop at East Marshall and North 25th streets for the report of an armed robbery.

The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 30 years of age and weighing 160-200 pounds. He was seen wearing a ski mask, a red and black winter coat and dark-colored jeans. The suspect carried an orange and black backpack. His photos are also below.

At this time detectives do not believe this suspect is connected to the several robberies at bus stops earlier this month.

Detectives are asking anyone with any information about this crime to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or contact Detective Sergeant Ethan Rhodenizer at Ethan.Rhodenizer@richmondgov.com or Lieutenant Daniel Minton at Daniel.Minton@richmondgov.com. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
