HOUSTON — The Houston Police Department's Robbery Division has released surveillance video of an unidentified suspect who they say held a grocery store employee at gunpoint.
The robber allegedly took money from a safe inside the East End store.
This happened on May 9 at the El Ahorro Supermarket in the 6900 block of Capitol, which is in the Magnolia Park neighborhood.
Houston police said an employee was locking up when she was approached by the armed robber.
The woman said the man forced her back inside of the store and demanded she take him to the back where the safe was. Once in the back office, the man forced the woman to open the safe, all while grabbing her by the neck and pointing a gun to her side, according to police.
Once the safe was open, the suspect grabbed the money and put it in a Nike backpack. Surveillance video showed the suspect kicked the woman before running away in an unknown direction.
There is no known description of the suspect. The only thing police have to go on is that he was wearing a green hoodie, white shoes with black shoelaces. He was also wearing tan pants, had a Nike backpack and wore gloves.
