The Houston Police Department’s
Robbery Division needs the public's assistance in locating Seth Body-Coles, 23,
who is currently wanted for robbery with bodily injury, and the identity of an unknown
second suspect.
On Wednesday, May
28, 2025, at around 7:00 pm, the complainant, an ATM technician, was servicing
an ATM at the 8200 block of Broadway, in Houston, Texas. The complainant stated
that a maroon sedan pulled up near his vehicle and an unknown male exited the
passenger side and ran towards him. The male attempted to access the open ATM,
so the complainant grabbed him and briefly wrestled with the suspect until he
was overpowered. The suspect then grabbed the ATM cassette, which contained a
large sum of money, and ran back to the maroon four-door sedan, which was
driven by a second suspect. The suspects then fled the location while the complainant
called the police. Houston Police patrol officers arrived at the scene and notified
detectives from the Robbery Division, who also responded to the scene.
Shortly after the
incident, officers were dispatched to a suspicious vehicle at the 7900 block of
Gleanlea, which matched the same description as the vehicle used in the robbery
of the ATM technician. When officers approached the vehicle, they observed
multiple high dollar bills scattered inside along with clothing. It was then
determined that the suspects had abandoned the Maroon four-door sedan shortly after
the robbery and got into a white four-door sedan, driven by an unknown third
male.
Houston Police
Robbery detectives also arrived at the second scene and conducted their investigation.
Detectives discovered that the suspects had changed their clothing after the
robbery and abandoned it in the vehicle. While searching the clothing, a detective
discovered that the suspect had left his bond paperwork in his pocket, which
also contained his name. Detectives then compared the name on the bond
paperwork to video of the suspect in the robbery and determined that it was
very likely the same person, Seth Body-Coles, 23.
After the follow
up investigation by Robbery Detectives, charged were accepted and filed on Seth
Body-Coles, 23, by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Detectives
have yet to identify the second suspect and are seeking the public’s assistance
for his identity. The suspect is described as a Black male, who was wearing a
white shirt, red shorts, and was carrying a black backpack.
