The victim described one of the men as a black man between 5 feet to 5 feet and 5 inches tall, weighing about 190 pounds. The second man was described as a black male wearing a white du-rag and about 6 feet tall and weighing about 170 pounds.

On Sunday, two more victims reported similar crimes.

An officer found the first victim passed out at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the 2500 block of Main Street. The second victim was also found passed out about 30 minutes later.

Both said they were approached by a man who offered them marijuana. When they accepted and took a drag, they passed out and woke up to find their property missing. 

The victims gave a similar description of the suspect. They said he was a black male between 20 to 30 years old. The first victim said the man was wearing blue pajama pants and a gray shirt. 

Anyone with information in connection to the robberies is asked to call the Dallas Police Department at 911.
