Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police
Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the
suspect responsible for a robbery by threat.
On Saturday, February 22, 2020 at 6:00 pm,
the complainant was withdrawing money from the ATM outside of the Wells Fargo
bank, located at 8901 Bissonnet, in Houston, Texas. The complainant stated that
she was approached by an unknown male, who told her that he had a check for
$400 and needed it to be cashed. The male then told the complainant to deposit
the check into her account and then to give him the cash. The complainant
stated that she did not want to, at which time the suspect used his size to
intimidate her and told her that she was going to do it. The complainant stated
that in fear of getting hurt, she deposited the check and when the $400 cash
was withdrawn, the male grabbed the money from the machine. The complainant
stated that she was notified a few days later that the check was fake. Houston
