Jahnke Road Auto Care Center Robbed
There were no shots fired and no injuries in the armed robbery of a South Richmond business Thursday night.
Richmond police Capt. Harvey Powers said the robbery occurred shortly after 8 p.m. at the Jahnke Road Auto Care Center at 6101 Jahnke Road.
A man brandishing a gun went inside and robbed the owner and the business before fleeing on foot, Powers said.
A detailed suspect description was not provided.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers anonymously at (804) 780-1000.
Talk about ironic timing. There was a meeting that same evening at 6 p.m. to discuss crime on Jahnke. Business owners and police had met to discuss the armed robbery of the Ho-Wah Chinese Restaurant. Ho-Whah is just down the street from the Auto Care Center.

Any published minutes from that meeting? I live very close to both robbery sites and was unable to attend the meeting.
I don’t have any but if you are curious perhaps Robyn @ 323-9864 or rmparsons@comcast.net who was helping organize the meeting can help you out.
