Video helped police identify the suspect.
A witness recorded video of the robbery, which Pearland police shared on Facebook. Because the suspect is a minor, the department removed the surveillance video from its Facebook page after the identification.
Tips from the community, along with help from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, led authorities to the juvenile in Miami, where he was detained.
“We thank everyone who shared information and helped identify him so quickly,” the department said in an update.
Officers with Pearland police, the Texas Department of Public Safety Violent Crimes Unit in Houston, and DPS Aircraft Operations Division in Austin traveled to Miami and brought the juvenile back to Texas.
The suspect was taken to the Brazoria County Juvenile Detention Center and charged with aggravated robbery of an elderly or disabled person, a first-degree felony.
Two other men also charged.
Authorities say Donte Belle, 30, of Houston, was identified as the alleged driver of the getaway vehicle. He has also been charged with aggravated robbery.
Investigators also arrested Demondtra Moore, 23, of Houston, who police said acted as the alleged lookout has also been charged with aggravated robbery.
