Today’s Good News

You can run from Richmond Police, but you can’t hide. One robber found that out recently when he stole a woman’s purse on West Cary Street at night then tried to run from officers. Third Precinct Officers Marley Williams and William McAuliffe responded and drove through a nearby alley where they spotted him and then pursued him on foot until Officer McAuliffe found him hiding under a car four blocks away. Good work! The Department would also like to commend a nearby witness who stayed to talk with investigators about what he saw and recovered the victim’s purse. Thank you!
