Houston robbery detectives are putting out a public call for help after a March 11 holdup in the 1900 block of Dryden Road, and they are hoping fresh eyes on some surveillance stills will finally put a name to their suspect. Crime Stoppers of Houston is backing the effort with a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest.
What police put out to the public
According to Houston Police Robbery on X, the Robbery Division posted a wanted notice on March 25 identifying the scene as the 1900 block of Dryden Road. The post included still images pulled from surveillance footage and explained that the division uses the account to share unsolved robbery cases with the community in the hope of identifying unknown suspects. Detectives did not release a suspect name or a full description in the post.
How to send in tips
Per Crime Stoppers of Houston, tipsters can remain anonymous and may qualify for a reward of up to $5,000. The organization says tips must be submitted directly by calling 713-222-TIPS (8477) or through its website. Crime Stoppers also stresses that dropping a lead in the comments on social media will not make someone eligible for a payout. For direct follow-up with investigators, the HPD Robbery Division can be reached through the HPD Robbery Division contact page.
How this fits recent robbery cases
HPD's Robbery account has been running a steady stream of similar appeals, posting stills from both business and street robberies to crowdsource leads from Houstonians. Recent Harwin store stickup coverage shows how detectives often lean on public tips and camera footage while cases are still active. In past cases, neighbors and business owners have told reporters that even grainy clips have sometimes provided the key break detectives needed.
What investigators want now
Detectives are asking anyone who was in or near the 1900 block of Dryden Road on March 11 and who recorded video or snapped photos to preserve that media and contact Crime Stoppers or the HPD Robbery Division. Tips can be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477) or through the organization's website, and investigators also field direct queries via their online contact page. The Robbery Division is encouraging residents and business owners to review their surveillance systems for any footage that might help push the investigation forward.
