Police are investigating the armed robbery of a South Richmond women's clothing store to see if it may be linked to other robberies in the city and neighboring Chesterfield County.
There were no shots fired and no one was injured in Monday's 8:30 p.m. robbery of the Cato store in the 2500 block of Sheila Lane, in a small strip mall across from a Lowe's home improvement warehouse.
Richmond police Capt. Yvonne Crowder said the robbery was similar to others in the city and Chesterfield because the suspect ordered the employees to the rear of the store and told them to wait for five minutes before calling police.
The description of Monday night's suspect also was similar to earlier robberies: a black male, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, dressed in all black clothing, including a black hooded sweatshirt that he uses to partially cover his face.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers anonymously at (804) 780-1000.
