KHOU-11’s Jeff McShan warns of a bold, bald burglar who has been hitting downtown and Greenway high-rise offices:
One man has been busy stealing from employees in downtown Houston and Greenway Plaza. Authorities say he goes into offices and takes valuables in purses and wallets. According to Houston’s Downtown Business District, 143,318 people work downtown, but the statistics probably don’t include one man.
Police say that since at least December, a well-dressed man with a bald head has been walking through the front doors of office buildings, taking the elevators up and burglarizing the desks of employees.
With a calm, cool demeanor he walked into 1111 Bagby Tuesday and also into a building in the 1300 block of Fannin.
Most of the time he leaves with valuables found in purses and wallets left in cubicles, while the workers are away.
In less than a week, he made two appearances at one building.
A surveillance camera caught the bald, well-dressed man as he left the building.
Not only has he been spotted downtown, but also at Greenway Plaza. Last Wednesday he was spotted on one of the upper floors of a building. He walked into a small law firm, told a receptionist he was looking for a lawyer named Ross and allegedly stole someone’s wallet.
