Two adult men and one juvenile have been arrested after the Tobacco Zone store in Colonial Heights was robbed in an early morning burglary.
Colonial Heights Police responded to 127 Pickwick Avenue Sept. 7, slightly before 7 a.m. The glass front door to the business had been shattered and a witness officers interviewed observed a subject exiting the business carrying merchandise.
When a search of the area failed to yield any suspects, investigators reviewed the store’s security video. Investigators determined that two suspects entered the business and identified a possible suspect vehicle.
When a patrol officer stopped a vehicle matching the description of the one in the video, investigators were able to determine that the three males in the vehicle were responsible for the crime.
