Crime Duo Wanted in at Least Two Houston Bank Robberies

The FBI Bank Robbery Task Force needs your help in identifying two men who are wanted for at least two Houston bank robberies in the past three weeks. The duo was captured on surveillance video wearing the same clothing during both robberies. The latest happened at the First Community Credit Union located inside the Kroger store at 12222 Jones Road in Houston, Texas, on 07/09/2010.

At approximately 10:55 a.m., the two men entered the bank. One robber remained in the entryway as a lookout, while the other robber approached an employee sitting behind a desk. The robber who approached the employee announced it was a robbery, threatened he had a weapon, and demanded cash. He then pulled a snub-nose chrome revolver from his waistband. The robber who made the demand was given some cash. Both men fled the bank together and were seen getting into a dark gray or black truck, possibly a Chevy Avalanche.

The duo is also suspected in the robbery of a Wells Fargo bank located at 3131 Holcombe Boulevard in Houston, Texas, on 06/25/2010. No one was physically hurt during either robbery. Surveillance cameras captured several photographs of the men during the robberies.

The first robber is described as a black male, 20-25 years old, 5’10”-6’ tall, 160-170 pounds with a slender build and a dark brown complexion. Witnesses believe he had short black hair visible under his hat. He had a light beard, mustache, and a goatee. In both robberies, he appeared to wear the same clothing, a red baseball-type cap with an eagle emblem on the front, blue jeans, and a light blue long-sleeved button-down collared shirt. He also carried a snub-nose chrome revolver during the robbery.

The second robber is described as a black male, 20-25 years old, approximately 6’ tall, 160-170 pounds, with a slender to medium build, and a medium brown complexion. He was possibly clean shaven. In both robberies, he also appeared to wear the same clothing, a black San Francisco Giants baseball cap, black pants and a black long-sleeved shirt. Witnesses observed a tattoo of the letter “A” on the side of his neck and the letter “O” on the back of his neck.
