Just days after a nearby Boost Mobile store was held up, another Regency-area business was robbed, according to police.

On Monday, July 28th, shortly before midnight, a male suspect entered the Exxon Gas Station in the 8000 block of Quioccasin Road, authorities say. The suspect displayed a handgun and made demands of the adult male cashier. The cashier complied, and the suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. No injuries were reported.

The suspect is described as a black male, 6’-6’2’’, 30-35 years old and 170-180 pounds, wearing a short sleeve black shirt, dark pants, a white shirt or cloth covering his face, and a black hat with white writing.

Anyone with information regarding this offense is asked to contact Henrico Police at 804.501.5000 or Crime Stoppers at 804.780.1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “iTip” followed by your tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
