The Houston Police Department is calling for the public's assistance in tracking down an armed suspect linked to a recent robbery at a fast-food restaurant. According to a statement obtained by the Houston Police Robbery Division, the incident took place late at night on May 8, when an employee, conducting what should have been a routine task of taking the trash out, faced an unexpected threat.
At approximately 11:00 p.m., the employee reportedly found himself at gunpoint, compelled by an unknown male suspect to re-enter the restaurant located on the 7700 block of W. Bellfort in Houston, Texas. Walking back into the establishment, the suspect, described as a Black male, between 5'8" and 5'10" with a thin build, donning a black shirt, black pants, and black shoes, corralled the rest of the employees. The employees, as reported on Houston Police Robbery Division's website, were forced to open the cash registers and watched the suspect take the money from the drawers.
