Two violent robberies in the past week at local apartments
The first incident occurred in the Somerset Glen Apartments and the second in St. John’s Woods Apartments.
The first incident occurred this past Saturday at Somerset Glen apartments.
The hunt is on for a gang of thieves that held a Richmond woman at gunpoint, beating her until she was forced to hand over the keys to her car.
It happened right outside her front door at the Somerset Glen Apartments as she was coming home from work. Now police are looking for the bad guys and her car.
The more recent incident occurred on Tuesday at the St. John Wood’s Apartments. A woman discovered a group going through her car
Groves said she then ran downstairs to confront the crowd, who she identified as two females and three males.
“I ran downstairs, opened my door and yelled ‘Hey!’ she said.
While the group started running away, she said one of the thieves pulled out a gun and shot at her.
“As I was turning around they shot at me three times. One bullet went right by my knee and another near my head,” Groves said.
The police have not shared any descriptions of the suspects in either case.
