HOUSTON – Robbery detectives found an interesting piece of information on a phone that was stolen from Rosa Calderon.
A video made by two men after the phone was stolen has the interest of investigators.
“We would love to know two things. One, who they are. And we would love to talk to them about this," Officer Jeff Brieder with the Houston Police Department's Robbery Division said.
Calderon, 59, said her phone was taken at gunpoint in the 5100 block of Lindsay Street in southeast Houston on April 18 around 9:30 a.m.
Video from a home surveillance camera shows an armed man rushing up to her as she sat behind the wheel of her car after she returned from a store.
The man took her purse and her phone, and then got into a waiting car. That car is possibly a dark blue Pontiac Grand Am.

Calderon's daughter said her mother is still shaken up from the experience.
“I want them in jail. If this happened to her, what are they going to do next?” her daughter said.
The same night, a few miles away on the north side, a resident confronted armed men in his backyard. He chased them away with a couple of warning shots.
The next morning, he came out and looked in the backyard and found a pistol with a jammed cartridge in it and two cellphones.
One of them was Calderon’s phone.
On the phone, police found a video with a man cheerfully using the phone to record himself singing a rap song. That man then turned the phone on his partner, who made a quick exit when he realized he was being photographed.
Police can’t say for sure if the same two men who robbed Calderon are the ones on the video, but detectives would like to talk to them.
