Recall that back in June, Chief Hurtt downplayed the surge in crime in Houston:
“Overall in the city of Houston, you’re pretty safe,” says Hurtt. “If you’re not involved in specific types of behavior, not out on the streets at particular times of night and particular areas of the city, you have a pretty good chance of not becoming a victim of violent crime in the city of Houston.”
KTRK-13 reports this bit of crime news from yesterday:
The search is on for a bank robber.
The Capital One Bank on Voss near San Felipe was hit just before 2pm Thursday. Surveillance photos show the robber, who pretended to make a deposit before he demanded money. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Everyone add “2pm, inside bank, at Voss near San Felipe” to your list of times/places/behaviors that you should avoid if you’re concerned about not becoming a victim of violent crime in Houston.
