HOUSTON – The Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect responsible for robbing a north Houston MetroPCS cell phone store at gunpoint last month.
On May 22 at around 7:20 p.m., an unknown man entered the store, which is located in the 700 block of West Mount Houston.
The man approached the counter, displayed a handgun, and demanded money from the register, HPD said.
