The Fort Worth Police Department has put out a public assistance request to find victims of a robber who is believed to have stolen more than 10 phones since early June.<\/p>\n

On June 19, officers responded to a call in the 5400 block of Parker Henderson Road in response to a robbery. There they spoke to the victim of the robbery, who said they were meeting with a prospective buyer interested in buying a phone, Fort Worth police said in a social media post.<\/p>\n

Emanuel Perez Mena<\/a>, 21, the man who was pretending to be interested in buying the item, then grabbed the phone from the seller\u2019s hand and drove off, dragging her along with the car for a short period of time, police said.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth police said that several hours later they received a call from the Arlington Police Department about a similar robbery. The robbery reported the same make and model of car \u2014 a silver 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer \u2014 and description of the thief.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth and Arlington police officers located the Trailblazer near Randol Mill Road and arrested Mena on suspicion of aggravated robbery.<\/p>\n

Detectives said they are looking for any other victims who may have been robbed by Mena. Police can be contacted at 817-392-4469.<\/p>\n
