The Richmond Police Department is asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect in a robbery that occurred last week on Grove Avenue.
A
few minutes after midnight on November 20, officers responded to the 2100 block
of Grove Avenue in reference to a robbery. The victim reported that while
walking along Rowland Street, she was approached by a man who pushed her down
and attempted to take her purse. When she did not immediately let go, the
suspect struck her again then took the bag.
The
suspect got into an older model white sedan, which fled on Rowland Street
toward Hanover Avenue. He is described as a black male in his early 20s.
Within
an hour of the robbery, the suspect used the victim’s bank card at two 7-Eleven
stores located at 1003 West Grace St. and 122 S. Belvidere St. He was captured on
surveillance video at both stores.
Anyone
who has information about this person is asked to call Third Precinct
Detective William Cutshall at (804) 646-1068 or Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.
Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word
“ITip” followed by your tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
