Texas police are searching for a man and woman seen high-fiving each other after an 86-year-old man was violently robbed at his San Antonio home, according to police.
On July 24, the San Antonio Police Department shared video of the pair of alleged robbers celebrating after the incident. Police are asking the public for help identifying them.
The robbery happened July 16, the department said in a news release.
The victim told responding officers a woman had knocked on his door asking for water. He decided to help her, and as he turned around to go get her some water, a male accomplice charged in and tackled the man inside his home, according to police.
“The suspects then proceeded to steal the victim’s personal property and then fled the scene,” police said. As they ran, the man and woman gave each other a high five, video shows.
The man suffered minor injuries, the release said.
Anyone with information about the case, or the identities of the suspects, are asked to contact the department’s Robbery Task Force Unit at 210-207-0300.
