Irion County Sheriff Officials confirmed two separate incidents where unsuspecting victims stopped to help what appeared to be a stalled vehicle with two Hispanic female occupants. Both victims reported that as they offered help, a third suspect, a Hispanic male who was hiding nearby, jumped out and rushed them. One victim was robbed of money. The other victim was able to drive off just prior to the act.
Both victims described the suspect vehicle as a small, red passenger car.
