The Houston Police Department is actively seeking help from the public to identify four female suspects connected to a pair of smoke shop robberies in Houston, Texas. The incidents occurred last month, on June 27, when the women allegedly carried out two armed robberies at different locations.
At approximately 10:30 pm, the group of suspects entered a smoke shop on the 12100 block of Northwest Freeway. Holding the store employee at gunpoint, two of the women demanded the contents of the cash register. They then took various merchandise before fleeing the scene in a vehicle, according to the Houston Police. Not even an hour earlier, the same suspects reportedly hit another shop at 3800 Center Street in Deerpark.
Descriptions of the suspects have been released in hopes of gaining assistance from eyewitnesses or anyone with information. The first suspect is described as a Black female wearing a gray hoodie. The second is noted as a Black female donning a blue hoodie. The third suspect, also a Black female, was seen wearing a black hoodie and black pants. Finally, the fourth suspect, again a Black female, was reported to be in a black hoodie and light-colored shorts. Surveillance footage and further details are available on the Houston Police Department's official website.
