HOUSTON - Houston police are searching for two male suspects who allegedly kidnapped a man, took him to a bank and forced him to withdraw money from his account.
Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division are asking for the public’s help identifying the suspects in the aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon that occurred on November 29.
The victim was delivering vehicles to a dealership in Houston from Las Vegas and decided to take a nap in his vehicle in a parking lot at I-10 and Highway 6 while he waited for the dealership to open. Authorities say two armed unknown males approached him, demanded his phone and wallet, and then took him to a bank on Old Spanish Trail. Police say a suspect was able to withdraw $1,000 from the man’s bank account at an ATM.
