Police said a suspect with a handgun kicked open the woman’s bedroom door as she was texting her sister about what was happening.

HOUSTON — Police are searching for three armed robbery suspects caught on camera going through a woman’s home while she was asleep.

Police said the homeowner was asleep in her home in the 7200 block of Springdale around 10 a.m. on Nov. 8, 2018 when she heard a noise and got up to investigate. She discovered her back door open and called her sister to see if she had left it open. The homeowner’s sister said she had not left it open and was on her way home.

As the homeowner continued looking around the house, police said three men entered through the open back door, one armed with a handgun and another with a pan from the kitchen. They said the suspect with the handgun kicked open the woman’s bedroom door as she was texting her sister about what was happening.

According to police, the suspects demanded money from the woman and took her phone. At that moment, authorities said the woman’s sister came home and began honking her car horn as the suspects ran off with the phone.

Police describe one suspect as a black male, 20 to 23 years old with a medium build and wearing a white shirt with red pants. The second suspect is described as a black male, 20 to 23 years old and wearing a black hoodie and red pants. Authorities said the third suspect is a black male, 20 to 23 years old.
