Shipley Do-nuts owner stops robbers

HARLINGEN — Shipley Do-nuts’ store owner Raymond Hout was not going to let one man get away with his cash register.

Around 6 a.m. this morning three men were arrested by Harlingen police for trying to hold up to longtime donut shop on Business 77.

“I looked at him and he had no weapon,” Hout said. “He just had two guys with him so I tried to stop him.”

Hout said he asked the robber to stop and not to take his cash register.

“In a couple of minutes the cops came and helped me,” Hout said.
