Houston police are again asking the public to help track down suspects in an aggravated robbery that unfolded last fall in a motel parking lot along Tidwell Road. On June 24, 2026, investigators reissued a wanted bulletin tied to a holdup that happened on Oct. 14, 2025, in the 3300 block of Tidwell. The suspects remain at large, and Crime Stoppers of Houston is keeping a reward of up to $5,000 on the table for information that leads to an arrest.

Robbery Details And Public Call For Tips

In a brief post on X, the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division described the scene as a motel parking lot in the 3300 block of Tidwell and listed Oct. 14, 2025, as the date of the offense. The department’s message urges anyone who recognizes the suspects or has information to contact investigators. According to Houston Police Robbery, the suspects are wanted for aggravated robbery.

Reward And How To Share A Tip

Crime Stoppers of Houston says tipsters can stay anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward of up to $5,000 if their information leads to an arrest. Tipsters can call 713-222-TIPS (8477), use the Crime Stoppers mobile app, or submit a report online through the organization’s tip portal. Per Crime Stoppers of Houston, using those official channels is what protects a caller’s identity and keeps them eligible for any potential payout.

Why The Case Is A High Priority

Under the department’s robbery guidance, aggravated robbery is treated as a first-degree felony when a deadly weapon is used or serious bodily injury occurs. That legal classification raises the stakes and helps explain why detectives are pushing the public appeal, according to the Houston Police Department.

HPD’s Wider Push On Cold Robbery Cases

The Robbery Division has been rolling out a series of wanted bulletins in recent weeks as officers try to shake loose community leads in older cases. Local coverage has flagged the trend, including a recent Wirt Road case in which Crime Stoppers also offered a $5,000 reward, underscoring how heavily detectives rely on neighborhood tips when robbery cases stall.

How Residents Can Help

Tips can also be submitted online or through the Crime Stoppers mobile app. Investigators ask that potential witnesses hold onto any video, photos, or other evidence from the area.
