PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a subject possibly involved in two robberies that happened Tuesday night in Portsmouth.
On Oct. 27, at 10:50 p.m., a man entered Royal Farms located at 3601 Victory Boulevard. Police say the man threatened an employee and removed all the cash from the register. He then left the business and walked towards Rapidan Street.
