Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police
Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the
suspect(s) responsible for a shoplifting turned robbery (by threat).
On Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at around 1:15
pm, an unknown male and two females entered the Nordstrum Rack, located at 5000
Westheimer, in Houston, Texas. The Nordstrum loss prevention personnel were
already aware of a possible shoplifter (in the Galleria) that matched the
male’s description and focused their attention on him using the surveillance
cameras. As they were watching the male in the shoe department on camera, they
observed him placed two pairs of white shoes in a large purse that was in the
shopping cart, which was being pushed by the female. All three suspects then
exited the store without attempting to pay for the items. The loss prevention
personnel approached the male outside of the store and asked him to give the
items back. The male then placed his hand in his waistband and threatened to
shoot the loss prevention personnel if they did not walk away. The suspects
then got into a red BMW 328i and fled the scene. Houston PD #574409-19
