Strong Armed Robbery at Lake Ridge Giant

On Feb. 3, employees at the Giant Grocery Store at 12445 Hedges Run Drive in Lake Ridge reported a robbery to police.

According to the employees, an unknown teen male walked into the store, approached one of the cashiers, and asked to change a $20 bill. When the cashier changed the bill, the teen allegedly grabbed both the change and the original bill and ran out of the store.
