HOUSTON – Authorities are asking for your help to find a shoplifter who robbed a store in west Houston last month.

Surveillance video shows a black Chevrolet Silverado in reverse in front of the western wear store. A man exits the vehicle from the passenger seat.
The man, wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a mask, walked around the store and picked up six pairs of blue jeans, valued at around $200 a pair, surveillance video showed.
A female employee in the store apparently approached the man and asked if he needed help. As he began to exit the store without paying for the items, police say he pushed the employee out of his way while she tried to stop him. He jumped in the black Silverado and the vehicle pulled out of the store’s parking lot.
Police say the suspect is described as a white male, between 6′0 to 6′1, and 150-160 pounds. He has tattoos on both arms and wore boots.
