After a man tried to rob a downtown gas
station on West Broad Street last week, Fourth
Precinct officers had no trouble identifying and arresting the man. Why?
After reviewing the surveillance video, they quickly recognized him from
previous encounters and knew their sector well enough to know the man often
hung out in the area. Within hours of the crime, they found and arrested him,
charging him with attempted robbery. Good work Officers Darin Papeo, Jarron Peterson and Jonathan Nathanson and Detective
John Walker! The Department would also like to thank VCU Police for their assistance in solving the case.
