Reward And How To Tip
According to Crime Stoppers of Houston, tips that lead to charges or an arrest in the case may qualify for a reward of up to $5,000. To be eligible, tipsters must reach Crime Stoppers directly through the anonymous hotline at 713-222-TIPS (8477), via the nonprofit's website, or through its mobile app. Anonymous is the key word here, and Crime Stoppers stresses that callers do not have to give their name.
What Investigators Released
In the April update, the department urged anyone with information or video from the area around the 1200 block of Broadway St. during the Dec. 22 timeframe to come forward. Detectives have been re-sharing surveillance images and reward details in an effort to spark fresh leads, mirroring a pattern seen in neighborhood crime coverage such as a recent Bissonnet stickup.
How To Contact Robbery Detectives
Anyone who recognizes the person in the released images or who has security footage from the area is asked to contact Crime Stoppers or reach the HPD Robbery Division directly at 713-308-0700. The Robbery Division operates out of HPD headquarters and handles investigations into cases like this, according to the city's police pages on the Houston Police Department.
Legal Consequences
Under Texas law, aggravated robbery is a first-degree felony that can carry a prison term ranging from five to 99 years or life, plus fines up to $10,000. Prosecutors can elevate a robbery charge to aggravated robbery if a weapon is used, if someone suffers serious injury, or if the victim is elderly or disabled, according to Texas Penal Code §29.03.
