screenshots from when the suspect picked up the phone (Grizzy’s Hood News)
A 17-year-old girl is asking for help after her phone was stolen while she was working Tuesday night in southwest Houston.
According to a report shared by Grizzy’s Hood News on Facebook, the theft happened between 9:30 and 10 p.m. at a business located in the 10700 block of W. Bellfort Street.
The teen was on the job when a man allegedly took her phone. The phone was set on a countertop near a wash rag in the restaurant. After throwing away his trash in a nearby bin, he was captured on camera grabbing the phone as he walked out.
The victim’s family members said the phone contains very important personal information, and they are hoping the person responsible will see the message and choose to return it.
The suspect is described as a man, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, with tattoos covering both arms.
No other details about the suspect or the circumstances surrounding the theft have been released at this time.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact local authorities.
