Sept. 11 – Sept. 12, 2013

Today’s Good News
Kudos to First Precinct Detective Brian Taylor who was named the Department’s Problem Solver of the Month for August! Detective Taylor is relentless in his investigation of robberies, and he isn’t deterred when a victim can’t identify a suspect in a lineup, as was the case during one investigation last month.

When the victim’s stolen credit cards were used in Charlottesville, Detective Taylor worked with local police there to gather surveillance images and identify possible suspects with ties to Richmond. His efforts paid off when they were able to search a residence and find evidence linking three suspects to two robberies in Richmond and a commercial robbery in Charlottesville. All three men were arrested and the investigations are continuing in both jurisdictions. This is just one example of the great work Detective Taylor does in First Precinct. Thank you and congratulations Detective Brian Taylor!
