Richmond Police detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the male in the attached photos who is a suspect in multiple larcenies of lottery tickets at locations throughout the city.
Last month, employees at local convenience stores began reporting this male had entered their businesses and requested several scratch-off lottery tickets. When the clerk placed the lottery tickets on the counter, the suspect would ask the clerk for another item. While the employee was distracted, the suspect would grab the lottery tickets from the counter and run from the store.
The suspect wore a distinctive light-colored hoodie with a photo of a young boy on the front and back.
