Sugar Land police release sketch of robber

HOUSTON Police say an 18-year-old man and his 52-year-old father entered their house in the 2000 block of Magnolia Crest Lane shortly after 11pm and immediately heard someone trying to follow them through a locked front door. The men said they had just arrived home from a business in Houston, stopping on the way at a check cashing store in Stafford.

When the residents refused to open the door, police say the man walked across the street to the 2000 block of Calico Hill Lane, approached a 22-year-old man talking on a phone in his car, displayed a handgun and demanded money. A struggle occurred, but the 22-year-old was able to escape and run inside his house.

The suspect removed property from the car, then left in a four-door, dark gray 2003-2004 Pontiac Grand Am that was occupied by two black men, according to police.

The suspect was described as a black male, who was 6 feet tall with a medium build. He was wearing a dark colored hoodie sweatshirt with stripes and striped shorts.

Anyone with information should call the Sugar Land Police Department at 281-275-2540 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS (8477).
