Sam's club employees robbed in Pearland

PEARLAND, Texas – Two employees leaving their jobs at a Sam’s Club in Pearland were assaulted and robbed late Wednesday, police said.

According to the Pearland Police Department, it was around 9:45 p.m. when the victims, a man and a woman, were leaving the Sam’s Club store on Highway 288 at Discovery Bay.

The workers told police they were walking to their vehicles when an older model green Jeep Grand Cherokee pulled up, and two armed men with ski masks jumped out. The male employee tried to protect the female, causing one of the suspects to hit him on the head with a pistol.

Police said the two suspects made off with the man’s wallet, cash, watch, and other items.

Investigators said there may have been a third suspect driving the vehicle.
