The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who stole a six pack of beer and $113 from a drive-thru in rural Weslaco late Monday morning.
In a news release, the sheriff’s office said deputies were dispatched to Juan Botas Drive Thru in the 6100 block of FM 1015 road in reference to an aggravated robbery.
“Sheriff’s Deputies met with the victims who reported a Hispanic male entered the business armed with a handgun and demanded money from the store clerks,” the release stated. “The suspect took $113 in cash from the register and a six-pack of Dos XX bottle beer. The suspect fired his weapon once as he was leaving the drive-thru.”
Investigators recovered a 9mm bullet and obtained store video showing the man wearing a dark, long sleeve shirt with the word “Colombia” on the left sleeve. The release stated he was wearing black basketball shorts with gray trim at the bottom and dark sandals.
“The suspect is possibly wearing prescription glasses. The suspect left the store walking and no suspect vehicle information has been developed,” the release stated.
The sheriff’s office is asking for the public’s help to identify the man and is encouraging any witnesses with information to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (956) 383-8114. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call crime stoppers at (956) 668-TIPS (8477). Tipsters can also anonymously submit information through the P3 TIPS smartphone application.
