$5K reward offered in search for NW Houston pizza robbery suspect

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Harris County Sheriff's Office investigators and Crime Stoppers are offering a $5,000 reward in their search for a man who robbed a northwest Houston Pizza Hut at gunpoint back in April.

Harris County Sheriff's deputies say witnesses told them a man came into the pizza parlor in the 10800 block of Veterans Memorial Drive on April 25 around 6:30pm and jumped over the service counter with a long gun.

Witnesses say the man then ordered all of the employees to go towards the back of the building. He ordered on employee to open the cash register. Once the register was opened, the suspect grabbed the money out of the drawer and took off on foot.

This suspect is described as a black male between 20 to 25 years of age. He was wearing a black hat, sunglasses, a yellow raincoat and black pants at the time of the robbery.
