According to HPD, it was reported that around 8:30 p.m., a 55-year-old woman got out of her Nissan Sentra and was walking to her apartment. That’s when two people with a gun and a Taser came up to her and took her purse, which had her car keys. The suspects got into the woman’s car and fled the scene.
HPD units found the stolen vehicle and attempted to make a traffic stop. The driver, who police said was an 18-year-old woman, didn’t stop and a pursuit ensued. The teen drove for about a mile before crashing into the back of a parked METRO bus, investigators said. No one was inside of the bus at the time of the crash. Police said the teen was taken into custody with no injuries.
Officers were able to find a video of the robbery and connected the teen to the robbery at the apartment complex.
