Suspect Sought in Martin’s Larceny


February 7, 2017

Richmond Police detectives need the public’s help to identify the individual in the photos who is suspected of larceny at a West End grocery store.

Surveillance video shows that around noon on Thursday, Jan. 12, several money orders were taken at the Martin’s grocery store located at 7035 Three Chopt Rd. The suspect engaged in conversation with the victim at the customer service counter and when the victim briefly left the counter, footage shows the suspect taking the money orders and placing them in her purse. She left the scene prior to the victim’s return and was last seen driving away in a dark minivan.

The suspect is described as a black woman with a thin build and dark, medium length hair. At the time she was wearing a red, block-colored hooded jacket, a light-colored shirt, dark-colored pants, dark-colored flat shoes with white socks, a brown tote with light straps, and a wedding ring.
Detectives ask anyone with any information about this man’s identity to call Third Precinct Detective Eric Sandlin at (804) 646-1010 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.
