APD shares surveillance footage of recent Austin robberies and shootings.
The Austin Police Department released a surveillance video of an armed robbery that occurred at a gas station in south Austin. Three armed juveniles entered the store, held the clerk at gunpoint, and fired at the safe several times. The suspects continued stealing items before leaving the store and shooting at the building toward the clerk inside. Two suspects were arrested, and a third suspect has yet to be identified. The Robbery Unit has noticed an increase in aggravated robberies involving juvenile suspects and will be working with the Travis County Juvenile Prosecutors to reduce recidivism.
