Richmond Police
detectives need the public’s help to identify the suspect in the attached
photos who robbed a business on East Belt
Boulevard.
Shortly after
6:39 p.m. yesterday, an adult male entered the Title Max at 20 East Belt Blvd.,
placed his hand in front of his waistband and implied he was armed with a
weapon. As he approached the employees, he demanded they open their cash
drawers. The employees complied and he took money from both of their cash
trays. He then tells the employees, “Don’t call the cops if you know what’s
best for you,” and flees the scene. He was last seen going northbound on Belt
Boulevard.
The suspect is
described as a black male with a dark complexion and dark, braided hair. He has
a slim build, approximately 5’6 to 5’8 in height, and scruffy facial hair. At
the time, he was wearing a blue denim shirt, red pants, a gold wedding band and
shoes with an American flag pattern.
Detectives ask
anyone with any information about this individual to call Second Precinct
Detective Joseph Dillon at (804) 646-8152. Citizens with information can
also call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or text Crime Stoppers at 274637,
using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are
anonymous.
