Aggravated Robbery Suspect Sought

On March 16, 2016, at about 1:00 a.m. a male victim, 60 years old, was sitting in his truck in a parking lot at 500 North Hampton Road when a Latin male suspect opened the passenger door to his truck and climbed in. The male suspect was armed with a knife and demanded the victim’s cash.

The suspect then demanded that the victim drive him to Pleasant Grove. The victim drove the suspect to 2200 John West where the suspect demanded that the victim withdrawal money from an ATM. The victim informed the suspect that he had no debit card. The suspect then began stabbing the victim in the head and face resulting in serious bodily injury to the victim.

The victim managed to escape from the cab of the truck by opening the door and falling to the pavement. The suspect got into the driver seat and drove over and dragged the victim. The victim remains hospitalized in serious condition. The victim’s truck was found abandoned at 4800 Olson and is in the Dallas police auto pound.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 25-30 years old, with straight black hair. The suspect was wearing a hoodie at the time of the offense.

Internet Buyers and Sellers Beware

Since December 2014, Northeast Patrol Division officers have responded to several offenses involving the attempt to sell or buy smart phones on Craigslist. Complainants respond to advertisements and upon meeting the seller/buyer become the victims of crime. A total of five offenses involving the sale/purchase of cellular phones occurred between December 18, 2014 and January 23, 2015. In three of the offenses the complainants were forced to relinquish property/money at gunpoint. All Northeast Patrol offenses have occurred in the general area bordered by Park Lane, Skillman Street, Mockingbird Lane, and N. Central Expressway.

The Dallas Police Department wants to remind citizens that while many Craigslist transactions are legitimate, citizens should be wary and alert during every encounter.

Dallas PD suggests:

Meet in a well-lit, public location. The parking lot of the police or fire station in your area is a great idea!
Arrive several minutes early. If anything about the location, the people, the time does not feel right, leave.
Do not enter the buyer or seller’s vehicle; do not allow them to enter your vehicle.
Remain vigilant during the entire encounter – if anything begins to feel wrong, abandon the transaction.
Take an additional person with you to meet the buyer/seller.
Do not volunteer property or money not previously agreed upon.

If you do become the victim of robbery:

Remain calm and listen to demands.
Do not resist the suspect’s efforts to take your property.
Be alert to the suspect’s physical description (race, sex, age, clothing, tattoos, etc.)
Be alert to the suspect’s vehicle description (make, model, color, license plate, etc.)
Call for police immediately.

If you see something, say something. Report in-progress crime at 9-1-1. Submit crime information to Crime Stoppers at 1-877-373-TIPS (8477), or submit a crime tip online at: http://www.ntcc.crimestoppersweb.com/
