Two elderly residents in north Harris County were injured late Tuesday after what authorities are calling an aggravated robbery, drawing a heavy response from Harris County Precinct 4 deputies. The scene remained active into the night as investigators collected evidence, interviewed witnesses, and confirmed that both victims were receiving medical treatment for injuries suffered during the attack.
What investigators say
According to Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4, the robbery unfolded at the intersection of Greenbrook Drive and Gloucester Lane. Investigators say two young male suspects wearing face masks targeted two elderly victims and robbed them, leading to a confrontation that left the victims hurt. Early information from the constable’s office notes that one suspect took off on an electric scooter. Officials stressed that these details are preliminary as deputies continue to process the scene and review potential evidence.
Investigation and local policing
Deputies stayed in the neighborhood late into the evening and asked residents to pull any home or door-bell camera footage from around the time of the robbery. The Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, which serves communities in North Harris County, is urging anyone who may have seen something or captured video to get in touch through the agency’s online channels, including its Harris County Constable Precinct 4 site.
