Richmond adds SWAT officers to weekend patrols  01/07/09 12:01 AM

A red light flashed on a computer screen inside the squad car, signaling a priority call: Robbery outside the Econo Lodge on Midlothian Turnpike. No gun displayed. Suspect in a black puffy jacket. Last seen fleeing toward Carnation Street. It wasn’t necessarily an unusual robbery call, but on Saturday night, a pair of officers from Richmond’s SWAT team hurried toward the scene.
