The Richmond
Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect connected to a robbery and abduction that occurred in the city’s
Southside last week.
At approximately
10:30 p.m. on Sunday, January 6, officers responded to the 100 block of
Erich Road for a reported robbery and abduction. The victim stated he
was walking to a nearby business when he was approached by the suspect, who
displayed a firearm and demanded money. The victim stated he did not have any
cash, so the suspect led him to two separate ATMs to take out money. The
victim complied and the suspect then fled the scene.
The suspect is
approximately 20-30 years old. He was last seen wearing a black White Sox
baseball hat, gray sweatshirt, and black jeans.
