Man wearing ‘Cub Scout Leader’ hat wanted in Southlake home invasion

Two well-dressed suspects, one wearing a Cub Scouts hat, are wanted in a Southlake home invasion this week, police said.

The home invasion happened about 1 p.m. Tuesday in the 1400 block of Thetford Court.

A woman who was home at the time told police that a man walked up to her front door and said he was looking for his dog. When she opened the door, he forced his way in and contacted a second suspect using a walkie-talkie, police said.

The two armed suspects held the victim inside the home and demanded money, she told police. When her son came home, the suspects fled in a black GMC SUV.

Police released a sketch of one of the suspects Friday, showing him in a hat that says “Cub Scout Leader” on the bill. He was described as being in his early 30s and was wearing wire-frame glasses, a long-sleeve button-down dress shirt, dark pants and dark dress shoes, police said.

The second suspect was described as being in his early 20s and was wearing a long-sleeve, starched dress shirt and black slacks.

Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to contact Southlake police Detective J. Ellis at jdellis@ci.southlake.tx.us. or at 817-748-8123.
