Woman sentenced to 11 years in prison for robberies

A woman was sentenced to prison after robbing two northwest Houston auto parts stores with a gun. Police said all the employees in the robberies identified her as the gunman.

A young woman will be serving more than a decade in federal prison for holding up two northwest Houston auto parts stores.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said 24-year-old Latoya Taylor robbed an Advance Auto Parts in the 1800 block of West Mount Houston with a gun in April 2017.

A few days later, Taylor walked into an AutoZone in the 22oo block of West 43rd St. and pulled a gun on two store employees, according to authorities.

All of the employees identified Taylor as the robber.

A federal judge Wednesday sentenced Taylor to more than 11 years in prison.

The robbery investigation was coordinated by the Houston Law Enforcement Violent Crime Initiative.
