Police detectives need the public’s help to locate a person wanted for a
commercial robbery last August and who may be active once again.
George
W. Thomas, 23, of the 3400 block of Garland Ave. is being sought for robbing
the Stop & Go on Mechanicsville Turnpike shortly before 3:00 a.m., Monday,
August 1, 2016. He pointed a handgun at the clerk and told him to empty the
cash register. Thomas fled with cash in a dark-colored four-door sedan.
Thomas
is described as a black male, 23 years of age, 5’ 11” tall, and weighing 145
pounds. He is known to frequent the Essex Village area in Henrico County or the

robberies. They ask anyone with any information about Thomas’ whereabouts to
call RPD Detective Eric Livengood at (804) 646-4636 or Crime Stoppers at
780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the
