TruthMachine, “two black males” is enough information for you to be able to correctly identify these two black males out of thousands in the city? Wow, you have amazing skills! The po-po should definitely consider hiring you! It could be like that show Psych.
I have dealt with the people at Modern Coin and found them to be wonderful, knowledgeable, and fair. I hope no one was hurt in the robbery. They took great care to avoid being robbed, and I hope their cameras caught the robbers’ images so the crime can be solved.
People who get their reality from television making snide comments about the City. Shocking!!! Some of these folks have to lead amazingly dull lives for this to be their hobby.
Yeah, good description. Wifey and I are going to drive around after work and see if we can find them.
At least the RTD gave a proper description of the perps this time. I was really getting tired of them not mentioning race in the description of criminals. Good job RTD….finally!
If you run east from 212 E Grace St, you will hit the police station in about 4 blocks.
No. When you run east from 212 E. Grace St, you will hit the brand new 75 million dollar CenterStage Carpenter Theatre complex in about 4 blocks.
Oops… I’m wrong. They would have had to run west from there.
obx, there’s more white-collar crime in the west-end…trust me.
That’s odd. If you run east from 212 E Grace St, you will hit the police station in about 4 blocks.
Crime in downtown Richmond???!!! Shocking!
