We’ve uncovered new details from a recent case on Dandelion Crescent in Virginia Beach on July 11.

Jim Hordeski lives on the block where a mailman was held up with a gun. He said he is friends with the victim and he’s furious.

“I have zero respect for any criminal and I think they need to get a job. I mean, come on, really. Putting somebody’s life in danger for a key, that’s just wrong in my book,” said Hordeski.
