(Video 1) The Richmond Police Department is asking for the public’s help to identify the men in these three surveillance videos in connection with the armed robbery that occurred at Schwarzchild Jewelers on Saturday.

At 2:49 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to the jewelry store at 3411 W. Cary Street after three men entered the store, smashed several display cases and fled with the contents. Two clerks were slightly injured when they were struck by a Taser-like device, possibly a stun gun. No other weapons were displayed other than a hammer that was used to break the glass of the display cases.

No description of the items taken or their value is available at this time.

Officers were on scene in less than two minutes and after interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance images, have the below four suspect descriptions, including a fourth man who remained outside the store:

#1 – black male, 6’2”, 250 lbs., mid-30s, dreadlocks in a pony tail, tan t-shirt, carrying a hammer.
#2 – black male, 5’5”, 140-150 lbs., mid-20s, black t-shirt with blue & red squares, carrying a stun gun.
#3 – black male, 5’8”, 140-150 lbs., late-20s, red baseball cap.
#4 – black male, no further description.

The four men were last seen running from the store and down Belmont Avenue before splitting into two groups of two and being lost to sight by witnesses.

Anyone with any information about this crime is asked to Crime Stoppers at 780-1000. Citizens may also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
