4 men sought in robbery at Bazar Gigante on Federal Road

HOUSTON – The public's help is being sought by Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department's Robbery Division in identifying four men who robbed a Houston store at gunpoint.

It happened around 2:45 p.m. on June 30 at the Bazar Gigante at 979 Federal Road in Houston.

Authorities said four men entered the store and posed as customers, while another customer was in the store.

Once the customer left, authorities said the men pulled out handguns and forced an employee to a backroom, where they tied him up.

The men told the employee that they would shoot him if he did not tell them where all the money was, authorities said. The men were able to get away with a large amount of money.

Authorities said the men eventually fled the store, leaving the employee tied up. They fled in a silver sedan that is possibly a newer model Nissan Sentra.
