Dec. 24, 2017

The Garland Police Department has recovered video from a robbery that occurred Dec. 9 at a Metro PCS located in the 400 block of North Garland Avenue. Detectives believe this suspect is responsible for two other robberies in Garland, one at a Metro PCS located on Saturn Road Nov. 17 and another at a Cricket Wireless located in the 3000 block of Broadway Boulevard Dec. 20.
