FBI Hunting Armed, Armored Truck Robbery Suspects
HOUSTON TX Aug 21 2020– The Federal Bureau of Investigation Violent Task Force is asking the public for help identifying two men wanted in connection with an armored car robbery in northeast Harris County.
Police said the robbery happened around 11:52 a.m. Monday at a Family Dollar on Homestead Road and Landor Street.

According to witnesses, both suspects were Black men. One of the men was caught on camera and officials dubbed him the “Baby Bid Bandit” because of a white cloth tied around his neck that resembled a baby bib.

He was last seen wearing the white cloth, a blue shirt and basketball shorts. Police said he was armed with a semi-automatic pistol.
