On the evening of November 15, 2023, at approximately 7:15 pm, deputies from District 6, The Woodlands Township Division, responded to an Aggravated Robbery call at the Macy’s parking lot in The Woodlands Mall. Three suspects approached a vehicle, brandishing a firearm, and forcibly took the vehicle along with the victims’ purses and belongings.

The suspects are described as four black males. One of them, pictured below, was wearing a white tank top and grey pants. The suspect vehicle, also shown below, is a small grey four-door sedan.
