HOUSTON – Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying the people involved in an aggravated robbery in the Tanglewood area.

Police said a couple had just arrived at their home on Riverview Way near the Houston Country Club. The couple said they parked their vehicle inside their garage and went inside where they were confronted by two men who had followed them inside through the garage.

Surveillance video from inside the home caught the thieves pointing their weapon at the couple and demanding their personal property such as jewelry and other items, authorities said.
