Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the suspect responsible for multiple Aggravated Robberies.

On Tuesday, July 24, 2018, at 2:20 p.m., an unknown Hispanic male entered a home improvement store, located in the 6800 block of the Gulf Freeway, in Houston, Texas. The male filled a shopping cart with several high dollar power tools and then pushed the shopping cart out of the store without making any attempts to pay for them. An employee witnessed the incident and asked the male if he had a receipt, at which time the suspect lifted his shirt (displaying a handgun) and told the employee not to say anything. The suspect fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction of travel.

The same male robbed a Summerwood area home improvement store on July 16, 2018, and then another in the Atascocita area an hour later. The suspect then robbed a Copperfield area store on July 18, 2018, and another home improvement store in the Sugarland area on July 26, 2018. In one of the robberies, the Hispanic male fled in a Chevrolet Avalanche. This suspect has committed at least five known robberies to date.

Suspect description: Suspect #1: Hispanic male, 25 to 35 years old, 5’06, 200 lbs., black hair, thin beard, with tattoos on both his arms.
