Houston police seek leads on suspect in armed robbery of vaping store

HOUSTON – The Friendswood Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying two suspects responsible for robbing a local vape shop on New Year’s Day.
According to authorities, two men dressed in black clothing and ski masks entered Vape City at 1542 Sunset Drive at around 9:07 p.m. armed with guns. The suspects demanded money from the clerk. After the employee complied, the pair trashed the store before leaving the scene, smashing display cases.
Surveillance footage shows the armed robbers remained inside the shop for about two minutes before fleeing on foot. Their path led toward a nearby nursing home, leaving a trail of stolen vaping devices behind them.
