Bystander Injured Attempting to Stop Armed ATM Theft in Richmond; Police Seek Suspects

Authorities in Richmond are seeking the public's assistance in identifying a suspect involved in a violent, armed ATM robbery that left a bystander injured. The incident took place on November 12, 2024, when a group of armed individuals attempted to steal an entire automated teller machine (ATM) from its location.

According to reports, a male bystander witnessed the heist in progress and courageously tried to intervene. During the confrontation, the armed suspects physically assaulted the man, inflicting minor to moderate injuries before fleeing the scene with or attempting to secure the cash machine. The victim was treated for his injuries shortly after emergency services arrived.

In early January 2025, police investigators released surveillance descriptions and security footage details to track down the primary suspect who brandished a firearm during the robbery. Law enforcement officials have warned the public not to approach the suspect, as they are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information regarding the identity or whereabouts of the individuals involved is urged to contact local investigators immediately.
