The Houston Police Department is currently seeking the public's aid in tracking down a suspect implicated in an aggravated robbery incident at a local fast-food restaurant. The crime, which occurred late in the evening of September 6, unfolded straightforwardly – with a male suspect entering the restaurant, brandishing a weapon, and making off with money from a cash drawer.
