RICHMOND, Va. - Police released an 12-second video clip of a man wanted for a Midlothian Turnpike robbery. The robbery happened about 8:30 Saturday morning, July 5, at the Midlothian Motor Company.
The man is accused of robbing and attempting to abduct a mechanic. After the robber took money from the register, police said he tried to take the mechanic to an ATM to get even more cash.
