Cameras captured the man entering the store.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for any information called in to the 713-222-TIPS that leads to the identification, arrest and/or charging of the robber in this case. Tips can also be sent by text message -- Text TIP610 plus your tip to CRIMES (274637). All tipsters remain anonymous.
