Local police are asking public assistance in solving these cases:
VIRGINIA BEACH
Paint ball has become a very popular sport. It's so popular that thieves are stealing equipment from one of the paint ball centers in Virginia Beach.
Sometime during the night of Saturday, June 12, thieves broke into Air Power in the 500 block of Viking Drive and stole 62 paint ball guns, magazines, goggles and CO2 tanks.
More than $21,000 in equipment was stolen.
CHESAPEAKE
Chesapeake police need help finding a man who robbed a woman at gunpoint in the 900 block of N. Battlefield Blvd.
On May 20, at 10:30 a.m., the victim left a Wendy's on her way to a bank where she was going to deposit money.
When the woman got into her vehicle, an unidentified man pointed a handgun at her and demanded the money.
The suspect is described as black, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 145 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing blue jeans, a dark jacket and ball cap.
A witness said a red dump truck had been parked by a telephone booth just before the robbery and left the scene just afterward.
Police have developed a composite of the robbery suspect.
Additionally, police have noted a strong similarity between the suspect shown in this composite and the composites of suspects in two similar crimes.
It's possible they are all the same man. ILLUSTRATION: Drawings
