Houston police are turning to the public to help track down a man they say robbed a business in the 3400 block of North Shepherd Drive on April 17, and they are sweetening the deal with potential reward money for anyone who helps close the case.

The post directs anyone with information to Crime Stoppers for possible reward eligibility and links to additional case details on the Robbery Division site. Police have not publicly released the man’s name or listed any formal charges in connection with the notice, and the case remains open.

The organization screens the information first, then passes credible leads to HPD detectives for follow up…
