Woman Robbed at Knife Point at Shell Station
UPDATE with information from the UPPD.
University Park police are looking to identify a woman who robbed another woman at knife point at the Snider Plaza Shell gas station at 3:22 p.m. on Friday.
The victim was pumping gas when the suspect approached her, pulled out a knife, demanded her purse, and then reached into the vehicle and took the purse. A young child was in the vehicle at the time, police said. No injuries were reported.
The suspect then got into the passenger side of a black Dodge Challenger with temporary plates and tinted windows, and fled west-bound on Lovers Lane.
The robber was described by UPPD as a black female in her early 30s, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 150 pounds, wearing a pink pullover shirt with purples stripes. She also wore a floppy, black leather hat.
According to police, the suspect was captured on surveillance video trying to make a purchase at a department store later that day with the stolen credit cards.
Garland police later stopped the vehicle in the above photo and arrested one female with a warrant out.
University Park police still want the public’s help confirming the identity of the woman in the surveillance photos. If you have information regarding this incident, you can call 214-363-3000.
