Richmond Police detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify the woman in the attached photo who is a suspect in a robbery that occurred early this morning (Tuesday, October 11th).

Shortly before 1 a.m., police responded to the Fas Mart at 2107 Semmes Ave. for a report of a commercial robbery. The suspect approached the store clerk with her hand, covered in a scarf, demanding money.
