CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - Members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force have apprehended fugitive Lynn Dexter Bailey Jr., 26, who was wanted for abandoning his toddler after he fled from police and crashed his vehicle in March 2010.

The March 3, 2010 incident began when police responded to the 3000 block of Bluffside Drive to investigate a suspicious vehicle report at about 6:30 a.m. When officers approached the car, the driver sped off and crashed into a nearby ditch. Bailey and an unidentified woman ran from the vehicle. Officers subsequently found the unharmed toddler near the vehicle.

After receiving a Crime Solvers tip, members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, including two Chesterfield detectives, located Bailey in the 2300 block of Navajo Court in Petersburg and arrested him without incident at about 7 a.m. today.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - A traffic alert for drivers who use Hull Street in western Chesterfield.

There will now be a new traffic light at the intersection of Hull Street and Otterdale roads.

This comes after people who live in the area complained about how congested the area can be.

V-DOT studied the intersection last year and decided it needed a traffic light.

Any parents with children who go to Cosby High School may need to take time for adjustments, since the school is very close to that intersection.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – Thieves are stealing car batteries from auto repair shops and it's been caught on camera! They've hit shops up and down Jeff Davis Highway in Chesterfield and Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond.

We've learned the two police departments are working together to see if the more than fifty incidents we found are connected. Crooks will only get about ten dollars for each battery. It will cost shops, on the other hand, upwards of $100 to replace every one.

Friday the 13th was not a good morning at All U Need Automotive in South Richmond.  Surveillance footage shows the brazen battery bandits taking their time breaking into ten cars.  From the time code on the tapes, they were on the lot for almost an hour. 

Owner Lee Runyon discovered the burglary when he opened for business.
