HOLIDAYS BRING CRIME SPREES

CROSBY – Video Game Rooms have become the target of robbers in the areas over the last couple of months. Recently a local establishment was added to that list of businesses.
On November 23, at approximately 8:47 p.m., Harris County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Honey Stop 7 game room, located at 14915 FM 2100, near the high school, in reference to an aggravated robbery.

One employee of the game room and one customer reported that an unknown black male robbed them at gunpoint. The employee stated that the customer left the scene before the deputies arrived.
The manager stated the suspect had both she and the customer lie down on the floor, as he robbed them of their money and emptied the cash register. The suspect is said to have fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money in an older model white Toyota or Nissan vehicle with a loud fan belt and muffler.
The suspect is described as a black male, 20-30 years of age, 5’10”-6’00”, approximately 200 lbs. or more, with an accent described as “country sounding,” and was wearing a mask and blue coveralls resembling those worn by chemical plant workers.
The getaway vehicle’s driver is described as a black male in his late teens, early twenties, 5’8”-5’10”, slender build, light complexion, upper gold capped tooth, and a faded hair cut.
Anyone having information regarding this case should contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Robbery Division at 713-967-5770 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
