HOUSTON – A male suspect is wanted in the jugging of an elderly woman by the Houston police as they work to identify who he is.
Houston police reported around 12:55 p.m. on April 1, a woman pulled into the parking lot of her apartment in the 6600 block of Sam Houston Parkway.
Surveillance video shows a red SUV pulling up behind her vehicle.
A man, around 170 pounds and wearing all black, got out of the red SUV and walked up the woman’s vehicle, to open the passenger side door, police say. He forcibly took her purse while she was still in the vehicle.
The suspect is then seen on video, getting back in his vehicle and leaving the scene.
According to police, the woman had just withdrawn money from the Wells Fargo Bank at 9702 Bellaire Boulevard before the robbery. Officials say it is likely the suspect followed the complainant from the bank.
Authorities report that the red SUV had a fake license plate.
Houston police have not identified the suspect.
It is unclear how much the suspect robbed from the woman.
