ROBBERS DRAW PISTOLS
Texas City , TX – August 8, 2006
Two male suspects entered a mall retail jewelry cha
in store shortly after a 10:00 a.m. opening. The men drew pistols and gave the sales associates a blue bag, demanding that the associates fill it with jewelry. A third male suspect stood outside the store talking on a cell phone during the robbery, and the three quickly escaped with the jewelry from the mall by using a nearby service entrance. One suspect was described as white, 25 years old, 5'8” to 6', 180 lbs., with a goatee and wearing a cream-colored dress shirt with French cuffs. A second suspect was also a white male wearing a baseball cap with the letter “H” and stars on it.
