Richmond Police detectives need the public’s help to
identify the suspect in the attached photo wanted in
connection to two commercial robberies in the city’s south side.
Around 11:20 a.m., on Tuesday, Sept. 12, police responded to
the 6800 block of Midlothian Turnpike for a report of a robbery. After
interacting with the suspect regarding documentation, the suspect pulled a
firearm, pointed it at the employee and demanded money. The employee complied
and the suspect then fled the scene in an older model dark gray four-door
Acura. The vehicle did not have a front license plate.
Later in the afternoon at 5 p.m., officers responded to the
6100 block of Midlothian Turnpike for another report of a robbery. Police were
told the suspect walked into the store with an envelope in her hand. After a
brief interaction, the same suspect unveiled the firearm and demanded money.
The employee complied and the suspect walked out of the door and fled the scene
in the gray vehicle.
The suspect is described as a black female with a light
complexion and dark hair pulled in to a ponytail. She is approximately 20 to 25
years old and 140 to 160 pounds. She was last seen wearing a baseball cap, gray
T-shirt, dark basketball shorts and white sneakers and socks.

identity to call Third Precinct Detective Ryan Nixon at (804) 646-1165 or
Crime Stoppers at 780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at
