Food truck operators in Houston are on edge as police look for a shotgun-wielding robber who has already hit a dozen businesses.
The man, caught on surveillance cameras, allegedly started his robbing spree on Aug. 9.
“He pointed the gun, a shotgun, at my employee,” Rolando Hernandez, owner of El De La Barbacoa told FOX 26 Houston. “It’s a very powerful gun. We’re blessed he didn’t shoot.”
The Houston Police department said that around 10:30 a.m. Aug. 13 food truck workers located at the 600 block of West Gulf Bank stated they heard a gunshot before an unknown man walked into the truck with a shotgun while demanding money from the cash register.
The workers complied and gave the suspect cash. The suspect then took off in an unknown direction.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male between 18 to 24 years old. He is armed with a black, sawed-off shotgun. Surveillance videos show him without any face coverings.
This suspect is believed to be responsible for at least 12 food truck robberies at the following locations across the city between Aug. 9 and Aug. 21, with at least three incidents unfolding on Aug. 10 alone.

When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

It’s a very powerful gun. We’re blessed he didn’t shoot.”
Is it 5x as fast as an AR15?
John Correia from Active Self Protection has videos of crimes in broad daylight that show how Houston has descended into third world status.
He didn’t steal any food, just money.
What gauge? What kind of action? Is the choke shaped outward, inward, or absent?
It's amazing that a 100% perfect statement riled up so many.
Oh, well if it’s sawed off, there is no choke. My bad. What size of shot?

Hey! Marvel used that line in Black Panther.
He’s right, when the come in legally on a merit based immigration policy.
I first read that as a shotgun wedding robber and thought well I suppose food trucks wouldn't be out of place.
Dims want more and more of this while working to disarm people like the owner of the food truck.
If I knew him and knew where he was, the Houston Mayor would have to express publicly on television AND in the newspaper for the liberal policies pushed on the people of Houston before I would say a single word. I would go to my grave on that principle.
If I knew him and knew where he was, the Houston Mayor would have to express intense remorse publicly on television AND in the newspaper for the liberal policies pushed on the people of Houston before I would say a single word. I would go to my grave on that principle.
I don’t know who the worst US president is. But I am confident that George W. Bush is in the bottom three. His bloody, expensive, and unnecessary invasion of Iraq was bad enough.
His insane immigration policy was just icing on the cake.
Oh, and then there’s his “Islam is peace” comment soon after 9/11. Maybe W really is at the bottom. His stupidity will haunt us for decades to come.
“My bad. What size of shot?”
Unless he shot the guy, how would they know?
600 west Gulf Bank Rd, a bad part of town and the food trucks are just rolling into be robbed. Bad guys just go down the block for money...
And when GWB can preach from his gated community, gated white house, gated ranch uneffected by the real world.
The ruling class are all about immigration, no real walls and no borders unless you try to squat in a homeless camp in their gated community.
