RICHMOND, VA – After receiving a call for a suspicious person under a parked vehicle on Westover Hills Boulevard last Friday, Third Precinct officers responded quickly and made three arrests.
“One phone call, three arrests and other thefts averted,” said Third Precinct Commander Faith Flippo. “That is the power of community members looking out for each other, sharing information with RPD, and excellent police work from officers.”
At approximately 1:23 a.m., officers arrived for the call for service and observed a male under a vehicle. He attempted to flee the area on foot but was apprehended by patrol officers.
In a nearby vehicle, officers found two other males with a firearm, tools and a catalytic converter which had been removed from a vehicle. A photo of the seized items is included.
Three were charged with destruction of property and petit larceny.
