Police link suspects to several auto parts shop robberies in Pasadena

PASADENA, TX (KTRK) -- Police say two men caught on camera during the robbery of an auto parts store may have struck the same location twice.

The Pasadena Police Department says surveillance cameras caught the men as they entered the Auto Zone at 1734 Richey Street on December 5, 2015. The same men are believed to have been involved in a robbery Tuesday at the same store.

Both men had their faces covered as they robbed the store, police say, pointing pistols at the store clerks before they got away in an unknown vehicle.

Police say the men may also be connected to robberies at two other Auto Zone stores in southeast Houston in December.

Both suspects are described as black males of average build. The first suspect was seen wearing a blue hooded jacket, dark pants and had a semi-automatic handgun with a silver slide. They were wearing black and dark orange LeBron Nike basketball shoes.

The second suspect was seen wearing a gray hooded jacket, and brandished a snub nose chrome handgun.

A $5,000 cash reward is being offered for information which leads to their arrest. You can make an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS or by submitting your tip online.
