The victim told ABC13 he was pinned against his car as one suspect grabbed the money out of his pocket and the other suspect stood there with a hammer.
He was robbed days before he turned 94. Now, he wants the public to help him catch the assailants.A man who was robbed days before his 94th birthday believes he was targeted in a jugging crime in north Houston because of his age.On Sept. 10, Lino Izaguirre drove himself to Chase Bank, where he withdrew $700 for bills, gas, and groceries. But his drive home turned dangerous when he says he was followed 14 blocks from the bank.
A neighbor's surveillance camera caught the suspect's car drive past his home and then turned around. As Izaguirre got out of his car in the driveway at the 800 block of East 39th Street, two men jumped out of the vehicle, pinning him against his car. That's when one suspect reached into Izaguirre's pocket and took out the envelope with money.
"Behind the first guy, there was another person with a hammer in his left hand...and he did not say anything either," Izaguirre recalled."I sat down in front of him so I could count the money I had withdrawn. I saw it was correct. I put it in my pocket and I left," he said. Both suspects were described as Hispanic men. One man was about 30 years old and weighs 180 pounds. The second suspect was between 35 and 40 years of age.Anyone with information is urged to call Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
