The Houston Police Department is on the lookout for a suspect tied to a recent robbery at a local fast-food restaurant, and they're turning to the community for help. The incident occurred on the afternoon of March 31, when an unidentified male reportedly took off with a cash drawer from an eatery on Waugh Drive.
Details provided by Houston Police's Robbery Division describe an audacious theft that unfolded just after the lunch rush. A man entered the fast-food joint, vaulted the counter, and swiped the tray from the cash register. An employee attempted to intervene but was met with threats of violence as the suspect made his escape. Witnesses say the individual then mounted a red bicycle and pedaled away.
Police are now circulating a description of the suspect, hoping that someone in the public can provide leads. The man is described as a White or Hispanic male, approximately 30 years old, and between 5’7 to 5’8 in height with a medium build. He was last spotted wearing a white polo shirt, khaki shorts, white shoes, and white socks.
In a bid to capture the perpetrator and prevent future incidents, authorities are urging anyone with information to step forward. A cash reward of up to $5,000 is on the table for tips leading to the arrest and charging of the individual behind this felony. Houston's Crime Stoppers organization has been designated as the contact point for anonymous tips, which can be submitted via their hotline at 713-222-TIPS (8477), their website, or the mobile app.
