‘Leader’ of armed robbery crew in Virginia Beach gets 42 years – Virginia

by Andy Cordan https://original.newsbreak.com/@watchful-eye-1588553/3218030793040-leader-of-armed-robbery-crew-in-virginia-beach-gets-42-years

Harold Spencer, a 33-year-old Virginia Beach man, was hit with a 42-year prison sentence for his role in a Hampton Roads armed robbery spree. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) describes Spencer as a Bloods gang member and the leader of a five-man armed robbery crew responsible for at least six armed robberies. According to court documents, the crew was brought down after an attempted robbery at a Tiger Mart gas station on March 18, 2022.

Laying out the evidence
During that March 18 incident, Spencer led Virginia Beach Police on a high-speed chase. One piece of evidence the U.S. Attorney’s Office cited was dash cam footage from a police cruiser that showed the men throwing loaded guns out of the vehicle.

After several attempts with spike strips, police were finally able to apprehend the men. EDVA prosecutors noted that ski masks and gloves were recovered. And, the clothes the men were wearing provided more evidence as it matched clothing shown in surveillance video from six prior armed robberies, EDVA pointed out.

During one of the armed robberies where Spencer reportedly shot at and nearly killed a customer, he took a selfie, EDVA prosecutors noted. In that photo, he was wearing a ski mask that was worn in six robberies. That ski mask was recovered after the high-speed pursuit and Spencer’s DNA was found in it.
