On X, the Houston Police Robbery account posted the surveillance stills and asked anyone with information to reach out to Crime Stoppers for follow-up. The social media post also directs users to an online tip link where information can be submitted.
How to Report Tips and the Reward

Tips can be submitted by calling 713-222-TIPS (8477), through the Crime Stoppers mobile app, or online. According to Crime Stoppers of Houston, callers must contact Crime Stoppers directly in order to be eligible for payment.
Why Police Are Asking the Public
