Suspects Sought for Burglaries, Cigarette Thefts


November 6, 2018

Richmond Police detectives need the public’s help to identify the two males in the photos who are suspected of breaking into businesses and stealing cigarettes.

Over the past month, detectives believe the suspects have broken into almost a dozen businesses in Richmond and several in Henrico County. The suspects strike in the early morning hours between 1:30 – 3:30 a.m., using a hammer or other heavy object to shatter glass in the front of shops, enter the stores, take the cigarettes and quickly leave.

Detectives believe the suspects have used a two-toned dark-colored pick-up truck with a camper top. A photo of the vehicle is also attached.

Detectives ask anyone who can identify these persons or this vehicle to call Fourth Precinct Lieutenant L. Watson at (804) 646-4195 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000, online at www.7801000.com or by downloading and using the P3 Tips app on Apple and Android devices. All Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
