E-mail Advisory 12/26/12
Library Theft Suspect SoughtRichmond Police detectives need the public’s help to identify the man in the attached surveillance photos in connection with a theft at a city library.
Between 10 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. on Dec. 5, an unknown person stole a cashbox from the city’s main library at 101 E. Franklin St. Detectives believe the man seen in these surveillance images may have hidden in the library when it closed the previous night and then stole the cashbox the next morning when the library opened.
Anyone with any information about this man’s identity or this crime is asked to call Fourth Precinct Detective John Walker at (804) 646-3184 or Crime Stoppers by calling 780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers anonymously by texting 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip.
