Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police
Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the
suspects responsible for an aggravated robbery (purse snatching).
On Monday, February 04, 2019 at 9:30
pm, the complainants were talking in the parking lot at the Cooking Girl
restaurant, located at 2400 West Holcombe, in Houston, Texas. The complainants
stated that as they were talking, they saw a red car pull into the parking lot
and a young male jumped out and approached them wearing a ski mask and black
clothing. The suspect grabbed the purse of one of the complainants and ran back
to the vehicle. At the same time, a second suspect had also exited the vehicle
and grabbed the purse of another complainant’s shoulder. The female was thrown
onto the ground, but refused to give up her purse. The suspect then dragged the
female along with her purse towards the vehicle that the suspects were in. A
brief struggle over the purse ensued and the female victim was nearly run over
by the suspect vehicle, at which time she then gave up the purse. The suspects
then fled westbound on West Holcombe. HPD case #153720-19
