An unsolved murder in Dinwiddie County is the focus of this week's Crime Solvers spot.

Another "home invasion" style break-in in Petersburg is the focus of this week's Crime Solvers spot.

At about 7:00 AM this past Saturday, February 10th, three suspects forced entry into an apartment in the 100 block of Harrison Street. They put a gun to the victim's head and demanded to know the whereabouts of his neighbor. They then dragged the victim from his bed and down the hallway to the neighbor's apartment where they kicked in that door and began searching. Whatever they were looking for, they didn't find it. They just left. Luckily no one was injured.

The victim was not able to give police a description of the suspects except to say that they were black males wearing masks.
