From RTD:

Richmond police are looking for a group of teens who reportedly assaulted several people Sunday on Belle Isle.

Members of a group of about 10 to 12 youths threw rocks at or punched at least five victims and robbed one victim of a cell phone, police said.

Officers and a K-9 unit responded to the scene about 9 a.m. and tried to locate the suspects, who are believed to be between 14 and 18 years old. Police think the group left Belle Isle by walking over the dry rocks toward Riverside Drive.

Anyone with information about the assaults is is asked to call First Precinct Detective Brian Taylor at (804) 646-0689 or Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the keyword “ITip” followed by the tip or submit a tip online at www.7801000.com.
