Southlake Police Department need the public’s help in identifying two robbers. The robbery occurred on June 6 around 1:40 p.m. in the Gap and Gap Kids store located in Town Square at 167 Grand Avenue.
According to the Southlake Department of Public Safety, a man and a woman entered the store and looked around at merchandise. The security camera footage showed the woman enter the employee break room and look around before she reached into an employee’s purse and took a wallet. The woman grabbed another wallet on her way out of the room.
An employee stopped the woman as she exited the room and asked if she needed help. The robber said that she was looking for her "child niece, because she's missing." The employee initiated Code Adam, which puts the store on lock-down until they can find the missing child. The male and female robbers acted like they were searching for the child.
