At first, I thought this was a silly story but if the local news is that of a few stolen items as compared to a homicide story, I’ll take this any day.
As reported by the Richmond Times Dispatch today, Tuesday, December 28, 2010, this crime incident occurred on Dinwiddie Avenue, which is in Blackwell surrounded by Jeff Davis Highway and Maury and Commerce Streets.

A man’s eyeglasses were stolen during an armed robbery in South Richmond, but the victim still managed to give police a description of the suspects. The man was not injured in the robbery, which occurred at 5:10 p.m. Monday in the 1800 block of Dinwiddie Avenue.

Richmond police Capt. David L. Martin said the victim told officers he was confronted by two males who forced him to give up his wallet and glasses before they fled on foot.

The victim described one suspect as a black man about 25 years old who is about 6 feet tall, weighs 160 pounds and has a dark complexion. The other was described as a black male, age 16-19, weighing about 150 pounds and carrying a black semiautomatic handgun.

Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers anonymously at (804) 780-1000.
