Corpus Christi police are asking the public to help identify an aggravated robbery suspect who took cash after police say she threatened employees with a kitchen knife and a "large stick."

On June 1, a woman wearing a light blue hoodie and black pants entered a business in the 700 block of North Port Avenue "with a large piece of wood demanding money from behind the counter," a news release states.

In a surveillance video, the suspect became aggressive and began banging the piece of wood on the counter, attempting to strike the employees.

The woman then pulled out a large kitchen knife and waved the knife around, the release states. One of the employees was cut by the knife during the robbery.

The woman removed the entire cash drawer that had about $300 and left through the front entrance.

The suspect is described as a black woman, approximately 5 feet, 7 inches and weighing about 150 pounds.

Anyone with information on the incident should call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS or submit the information online at
