PRESS RELEASE BY LT. DAN NORRIS
On Wednesday, around 9:20 p.m. patrol deputies responded to the Heritage Point Subdivision on Cloverleaf Drive in Magnolia for the report of a robbery, where they met with a 35-year-old male pizza deliveryman who was robbed at gunpoint.
Deputies learned that as the victim was leaving the subdivision, a white car blocked the roadway and a male suspect got out of the car and, with a pistol in hand, demanded the victim’s money. The suspect fired one shot into the air, had the victim remove his clothing, then returned to his car and sped away. The victim could see a female accomplice waiting inside the suspect’s car. The victim was not injured, and the suspect got away with a small amount of cash and personal property belonging to the victim.
The victim told deputies that the suspect wore a blue bandana and sunglasses on his face.
Around 11 p.m. the same evening, patrol deputies were called to a residence on Ledge Stone Place near Branch Crossing, in The Woodlands, where a similar robbery had just occurred. The 21-year-old male victim told deputies that a white vehicle followed him to his home and as he got out of his car a white male got out of the white car with a gun in his hand, approached him and demanded money. The suspect was wearing a blue bandana on his face.
The suspect after getting the victim’s money fired a single gunshot into the air then got into the white car and fled. Like the earlier victim, the second victim saw a female was in the car with the suspect. The victim was not injured.
In both robberies there were passengers inside the victim’s vehicles that were not robbed or inquired.
Around 1:45 a.m. Thursday, a patrolman with the Magnolia Police Department stopped a vehicle on FM 1488 around Goodson Road that matched the description of the vehicle the suspects used during the two robberies. Inside the vehicle the officer found a handgun, a blue bandana and personal property from the victims.
Cooperating efforts from both the Magnolia Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office led to the occupants of the car being arrested and charged with two aggravated robberies. The suspects are identified as 20-year-old William Mason of Hockley and 24-year-old Tiffaney Steverson of Hockley.
