From the Galveston County Daily News, this date:

SANTA FE — Police are searching for a man they suspect is responsible for a series of armed robberies in Santa Fe and nearby Alvin. The gunman’s latest heist happened late Thursday night at a gas station on state Highway 6.

Detective Wayne Kessler said the robber entered the West Side Shell station in the 15700 block of Highway 6 about 10:40 p.m., brandished a silver automatic pistol and ordered the store clerk to empty the cash register. After smacking the clerk in the chest with the gun, the suspect fled.

Kessler said a suspect matching the same description robbed a store in Alvin about 40 minutes before robbing the Santa Fe Shell.

The other robbery happened at an Exxon station near the Santa Fe-Brazoria County line.

The suspect was described as a slender black man wearing black pants and a black hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information about the robberies should call Santa Fe police at 409-925-2000.

These guys tend to get bolder.

I know we have members in this area.

Thank you for the post...I was not aware of this idiot. Heads up in any of these places as I am sure this is a crackhead that would not mind killing one of us to fill his pipe.

I've seen that guy around.

Well, the "slender" part rules out most of the population.

I'm surprised the police couldn't provide a photograph. Most convenience stores have pretty good security cameras these days.

These robberies reinforce the principle that you should avoid convenience stores on lonely rural roads at night. That stretch of Route 6 is about as desolate at night as any place within 50 miles of Houston.
