ROBBERY

200 block of South Laurel Street
A male reported he was robbed by three unknown males.
From unofficial reports from neighbors:
Yesterday I drove
, a homeless man to the VA hospital. He had been severely beaten with purple bruises on the whole side of his face. He said it was a group of young kids on bicycles and the engaged him in conversation and one of them blind sided him and he fell to the ground. He was kicked a few times and then the rode off toward Broad Street. He did not recognize them from the neighborhood. I am concerned about this sort of thing.
Friday night about 10 pm, Richmond Police were @ St. Andrews, 800 block of Idlewood, between Cherry and Laurel, where 5-6 street men and women were camped out in the small alcove on Idlewood. One (man) was lying outside on the sidewalk covered in snow – an ambulance took him away on a stretcher. The rest were evicted and moved on with large amounts of baggage, sleeping bags – etc. … Some of these folks (men and women) are our own local squatters and panhandlers. Yesterday, what looked like the same man and others were discovered in the alcove and evicted again – the man could hardly stand up – let alone walk, he tried hanging on to the iron fence, but he soon fell in the street – the Fire Department showed up and once again he was taken away by ambulance on the stretcher.
