Thanks to help from the public, the Richmond Police Department has arrested Stefon R. Dunkley for stealing a vehicle with a baby inside yesterday. His booking photo is attached.
At approximately 5:20 a.m. on October 26, 2020, Dunkley stole a running vehicle with a baby in the back seat from the parking lot of a business in the 2400 block of Venable Street. Approximately 10 minutes later, officers recovered the abandoned vehicle at N 19th and R streets. The child was unharmed.
Later in the evening, First Precinct officers received information from a citizen who had seen the suspect’s photo on the local news and identified him as Dunkley. Those same officers apprehended Dunkley after a brief foot pursuit in the 1100 block of N 20th Street.
Detectives want to continue reminding citizens not to leave running vehicles unattended. As with this case, it does not take long for someone to get in and drive away.
Anyone with additional information is asked to call First Precinct Detective D. Jones at (804) 646-0689 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or www.7801000.com. The P3 Tips Crime Stoppers app for smartphones may also be used. All Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
