Police Seek Suspects In Austin Robbery Spree At 7-Eleven Stores

AUSTIN, TX — Police are seeking help from the public in identifying four suspects in connection to a series of robberies that occurred at three convenience stores this month, officials said Wednesday.

The incidents occurred at 7-Eleven stores located at 3801 W. Parmer Lane, 11800 Metric Blvd. and 8010 Brodie Lane, according to a police advisory.

Police said the first robbery occurred on Monday just before 3 a.m. when the suspects entered the store on Parmer Lane, and forced the clerk to the ground while one suspect held the worker down with his foot on the victim's back. The other suspects, police added, worked to pry an automated teller machine (ATM) to extricate the cash contained within the machine.

The second and third robberies both occurred on Tuesday, when the suspects entered the 7-Eleven located at 11800 Metric Blvd. just before 4:15 a.m., according to police. According to a law enforcement advisory, one of the suspects appears to forcibly hold the clerk at the counter while the others move in the direction of the ATM.

The suspects then moved on to another 7-Eleven store on Brodie Lane just after 5:30 a.m. Police said one of the suspects made contact with the clerk, who was outside the store at the time, before going inside with the other suspects to tamper with the ATM. In both of these robberies, the suspects were seen fleeing the area on foot, police said.
