Garland Police responded to the report of a home invasion robbery last night just after 6:00 pm in the 5500 block of Deer Brook Road, located in the North West part of Garland. When police first arrived they determined the suspect could possibly still be in the residence and SWAT was called to search the home. When the search was completed the man was not inside and the house had been ransacked throughout.
The complainant stated she was inside her home working when she heard a noise, looked up and saw a man holding a gun. The man pointed the gun towards her and demanded money. They went into another room of the house where she gave him money; he then placed her inside a bathroom and apparently started ransacking the house. After several minutes the lady opened the door, did not see anyone and started towards the front door. She again heard the man inside and she ran out the front door over to a neighbor’s house where police were called.
The intruder was described as a black male in his early 20’s, approximately 5’8” tall, thin build, short black hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark blue hoodie. The lady said she did not know the man and had never seen him before.
Garland Crime Stoppers will offer a reward for information that leads to the arrest of this home invasion robbery suspect. TIPS line 927-272-8477.
