County police seek three after drug deal goes bad

The Chesterfield County Police Department is seeking information about two black males and one Hispanic male who were allowed into the victims' apartment at 10 p.m. on Aug. 28 in the 5700 block of Handel Court. The suspects offered to sell them drugs, but the victims said they were only interested in purchasing the sexual services of a woman.

During the discussion, one suspect began spraying what appeared to be pepper spray while another suspect displayed a handgun. Some of the victims ran out of the apartment.

Before leaving, the suspects each struck the remaining victims in the head, taking a cell phone from one of the victims.
