Richmond Police
detectives need the public’s help to identify the suspect(s) who damaged
lighting fixtures on the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge overnight. The
pedestrian and cycling pathway spans the James River from Brown’s Island to
Manchester.
The suspect(s)
pried off over 90 light covers and pulled out the LED lighting elements.
First Precinct
detectives are investigating. Detectives take all destruction of property cases
seriously, and the damage to the lighting fixtures is reportedly above the
threshold for a felony charge, which is $1,000 of damage.
Detectives ask
anyone who saw any suspicious activity on the footbridge last night or early
this morning to call First Precinct Lieutenant Anthony Papaleo at (804)
646-0572 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000, online at www.7801000.com or by downloading and
