On Monday, April 8, 2024 at around 5:50 pm, an unknown male entered a grocery store, located at the 200 block of W. 20th, in Houston, Texas. The male walked into the store, removed packages of meat, and then walked out of the store without attempting to pay for it. An employee attempted to take the unpaid items from the suspect as he was leaving. The suspect then pushed the employee as he was trying to leave, got into a black four-door sedan, and fled the location. The suspect may also be responsible for similar robberies committed in the same area as this one. Houston PD #505360-24

1. Employees and employers should always remain alert and observant. Things to watch for:
• People wearing inappropriate
clothing for the weather, such as heavy coats during warm weather.
• People carrying empty bags or
backpacks while shopping
• Suspicious or unusual behavior
from customers.
• If you recognize the suspect as a frequent
shoplifter, have an employee notify the police and have prearranged signals
between employees.
• MAKE MENTAL NOTES -- Make a mental
note of the robber's race, age, height sex, clothing, complexion, color of hair
and eyes, etc. Note anything unusual about the robber, such as scars or
tattoos.
• Have good quality working
surveillance cameras inside the store
• Mark the edge of the main doorway with measuring tape. This will help in obtaining a more accurate height of the suspects.
