Armed robberies in Euless could be connected to others across the area, police say
Three armed robberies that happened in a short time span in Euless on Tuesday night could be connected to other similar robberies across the area, according to the Euless Police Department.
The robberies happened between 10:15 and 10:30 p.m. Each one happened in parking lots of apartment complexes within a four block area, police said in a news release.
The first robbery happened in the 800 block of East Ash Lane, the second in the 1200 block of Fuller-Wiser and the third in the 1500 block of Bear Creek Parkway, police said.
In each robbery, the victim was approached by two men. One of the men pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at the victims and demanded money, police said.
When all three victims told the men they didn’t have money, the thieves took jewelry, credit cards and cellphones, police said.
About an hour later, another robbery was reported, but the suspects had moved to Arlington.
According to police there, an armed robbery occurred in the 6500 block of Timbercreek Drive at around 11:45 p.m. Again, two men approached two victims and demanding their belongings. They took a picture and ran away, police said.
In all four cases, the men were wearing dark colored clothing and ski masks.
Euless police are working with other agencies across the area to develop leads. Those agencies are the Hurst, Bedford, Arlington, Grand Prairie and Haltom City police departments.
