Newport News police are asking the public for help identifying a suspect in a robbery at a 7-Eleven in the 9500 block of Warwick Boulevard that happened Monday. Investigators have not released a suspect description or additional details about what occurred during the robbery, but they are urging anyone with information to come forward.
According to WAVY.com, Newport News police are seeking public assistance in identifying the person responsible for the robbery. The outlet reports that police are requesting any information the community can provide about the case.
Anyone with details can submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-888-LOCK-U-UP, through the P3 Tips app, or at P3Tips.com, per the same report. Those tip channels allow residents to share information without revealing their identity, which police often rely on in cases where no suspect has yet been named.
Suspect Information
Police have not released a suspect description, name or age.
Past Reports Involving Newport News 7-Elevens
Newport News has had other 7-Eleven robbery investigations in recent years, though nothing in the record ties them to Monday's incident. WAVY previously reported on a July 2024 case in which police sought help identifying a 7-Eleven robbery suspect, and on a November 2024 robbery involving multiple suspects. A separate report from February 2025 covered video of robbery suspects released after another Newport News incident.
The city's own Daily Offense Reports, maintained by the Newport News government, caution that the dates listed reflect when offenses are reported rather than necessarily when an incident occurred, and that a single incident can involve multiple offenses. That note applies broadly to the city's crime reporting system and is not confirmation of the specific timeline in this case.
For now, the investigation remains open, and police have not indicated whether they have identified any leads. Residents with information about the Warwick Boulevard robbery are encouraged to use the anonymous tip options to contact investigators.
