"Somebody was apparently watching him," said Detective Mohammad Khan of the Houston Police Department. Investigators said it was no coincidence that the victim was robbed seconds after cashing his $4,000 tax return. "They knew to come over here and tip the robber when he had his money cashed," said Det. Khan. Despite surveillance video showing two suspects, one with a handgun, the other pilfering the victims pockets, they did not find the money.
