Austin police are asking the public to help identify three women suspected in a robbery at Neiman Marcus in The Domain, where an employee was assaulted during the incident. The robbery happened around 7:35 p.m. on Aug. 6 at the store located at 3400 Palm Way, and investigators say they still need the community's help tracking down those responsible.
According to KEYE, the Austin Police Department released surveillance images of the three suspects, who are believed to be in their late teens to early 20s. Police have not disclosed what was taken during the robbery or the extent of the employee's injuries, the station reports.
What The Suspects Look Like
The first suspect is described as a Hispanic woman with a heavy build who wears prescription glasses and has wording tattooed on the inside of her right arm, per the same account. She was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt, black shorts and flip-flops.
The second suspect is described as a Black woman with a thin build and black-and-blonde hair with laid edges, last seen in a black tank top and gray sweatpants. The third suspect is described as a Black woman with a medium build who has a tattoo on her left wrist and was last seen wearing a pink dress, the report notes.
How To Submit A Tip
Anyone with information is asked to contact APD's Robbery Unit at 512-974-5092. Tipsters can also remain anonymous by calling Capital Area Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477, and a reward of up to $1,000 may be available for information leading to an arrest, according to the article.
Domain Robberies Have Happened Before
This is not the first time the shopping and entertainment district has drawn police attention for a string of robberies. In June 2022, KVUE reported that APD arrested three adults and one juvenile in connection with a series of aggravated robberies, including an incident at The Domain on June 14 of that year. Investigators said a total of 11 robberies happened between June 11 and June 14, 2022, and that a vehicle theft on June 11 might be connected to the spree.
Two victims in that 2022 case told police they were walking through the Neiman Marcus parking lot at 3400 Palm Way when a suspect approached them from behind, according to KVUE. The three identified adult suspects, Jaylyn Reed, 17, Paul Rossum, 18, and Andre Harris, 18, were all charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, while the juvenile suspect involved was not identified by police.
No arrests have been announced in the Aug. 6 case, and police have not said whether it is connected to any prior activity in the area. For now, investigators are relying on the public to help put names to the three women pictured in the surveillance images.
