Authorities in Houston are calling for public assistance to identify two male suspects implicated in a forceful robbery of a local bakery. In a late-night crime that unsettled the otherwise uneventful streets, the Houston Police Department reported that two individuals targeted a bakery on the 1300 block of N. Wayside. According to the details released by the police and published on their Houston Police Robbery Division website, the incident took place on October 21, 2024, shortly after 2 am.
The suspects, described as two black males, executed the theft with unsettling precision. Houston Police indicate in their description that the first suspect, around 6 feet tall with a thin build and sporting facial tattoos, accosted a bakery employee, forcibly grabbing her shirt and cornered her. Meanwhile, his accomplice went about disconnecting cash drawers. Quickly accomplishing their mission, the second man, standing near 5'5" and in a black shirt and pants, escaped with cash register drawers in tow. Both fled on foot in the silent embrace of the night

The organization is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest or charging of the felony suspects involved.

The Houston Police Department has not shared specific details on the amount of cash stolen during the robbery, focusing instead on the actionable descriptions of the suspects. The first, with tattoos distinctly marking his face, wore a white hoodie, gray or green pants, along with black shoes. Suspect two, captured on the bakery's surveillance in a black shirt, and matching pants, contrasted by white shoes, ran out from the bakery, where the cash drawers were forcibly removed. These fleeting images, caught on camera, now serve as silent witnesses, urging those who recognize them to come forward.
