$50K in Eyewear Stolen in Gunpoint Robbery

An eyewear store in Tanglewood, TX, was robbed at gunpoint of nearly $50,000 in frames.

The crime happened at ProOptix Eye Care on Friday afternoon, ABC 13 Houston reports.

Sana Malik, owner of the store, said one of the three robbers put a gun to an optician’s back. At that point, other employees and customers got on the floor, she said.

The crime was caught on surveillance video. Police are searching for the three suspects.

The store has been targeted before, ABC 13 notes. In August, burglars took about $30,000 in merchandise.
