Police asking for public’s help in identifying robbery suspect

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Police are searching for a suspect in connection to a robbery of a Central Lubbock business in late March.

On March 30, officers were called to reports of a robbery at Harbor Freight Tools near 34th Street and I-27 just before 9 a.m.

Investigators say it appears the suspect entered the store and left without paying for items he picked up while shopping. A cashier told police the suspect pulled a gun out on her and the manager after he was offered a shopping cart to help carry his item. The manager told police the suspect told him “’watch out’ as he turned towards him with a gun”.

He is described as a Hispanic male in his 20′s, about six feet tall and weighs between 160 to 180 lbs. He was last seen wearing a black Pittsburg Pirates baseball hat, a white Reebok shirt, a black hoodie with gray sleeves, red pants, black shoes and a gator style mask with a skull on it.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Detective Trevor Ward at (806) 775-2432.
