HOUSTON – The Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who was trying to steal several steaks from a grocery store in northwest Houston this month.
On Tuesday, July 4, at around 4:45 p.m., the suspect entered a grocery store located in the 1300 block of W. 43rd.
Officers said the man walked into the store, removed several steaks and other items from the meat section, and then began walking out of the store without attempting to pay for it.
Video released by HPD shows an employee attempting to take the unpaid items from the suspect as he was leaving the store. The suspect then pushed the employee but a security guard was able to assist and take some of the stolen items back. The suspect then fled the location on foot.
The suspect was described by police as a man with a thin build wearing a dark blue Adidas shirt and blue shorts.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS (8477) or submit an online tip at www.crime-stoppers.org or through the Crime Stoppers mobile app. Information leading up to the charging and/or arrest of any suspects in this case may result in a cash payment of up to $5,000.
