Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police
Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the
suspect responsible for two robberies with a deadly weapon.
On Monday, December 24, 2018 at 9:15 pm,
an unknown white male entered the Upscale Cleaners, located at 2450 Louisiana,
in Houston, Texas. The male was holding a suit in one hand while holding a
handgun in his right hand. The suspect pointed the weapon at the employee and
demanded the money from the cash register. The employee complied with the
suspect and opened the register, at which time the suspect removed the money
from the drawer. The suspect then placed his gun on the counter and began
looking for more money in the cash drawer. The male then forced the employee to
the bathroom in the back of the business and fled the location in an unknown
direction. HPD case #1616883-18
The same male then returned to the
Upscale Cleaners on January 15, 2019 at 11:33 am and committed a second
robbery. The male walked into the business and pulled out a handgun. The complainant
stated that the suspect recognized her from the last robbery and he told her
"you already know what this is, so open the cash register." The
complainant complied with the suspect and opened the register. Once the suspect
had the money, he escorted the employee to the bathroom in the back of the
business and fled the location. HPD case #91814-19
Suspect description: White male, 45 to
50 years old, 5’5 to 5’7, dark coat, black hoodie and black pants.
