A high-speed chase in The Woodlands area of north Houston ended in a crash involving a Houston METRO bus. The chase began after 24-year-old Jontravous Jones from Atlanta, GA, was reported to have stolen multiple luxury handbags from a local Louis Vuitton store, as reported by FOX 26 Houston.
On Friday just before 5 p.m., Jones caused a car chase that ended in a crash at the 2900 block of Yale Street near the North Loop, according to CW39. His car hit another vehicle, which then collided with a METRO bus, injuring multiple people. Four juveniles and an adult were taken to the hospital. METRO Police said only the bus driver and one passenger had minor injuries. Jones tried to run but was caught by Montgomery County authorities.
Woodlands Township Chairman Brad Bailey said, "Words cannot express the appreciation for Sheriff Doolittle and our hardworking officers at the MCSO for their relentless pursuit of the brazen criminal responsible for yesterday’s robbery at our local Louis Vuitton store. The safety of all our residents, visitors, and businesses is the number one priority of The Woodlands Township Board of Directors," as mentioned by FOX 26 Houston. Jones was treated for injuries from a crash and then booked into Montgomery County Jail. Authorities are investigating if Jones is linked to other Louis Vuitton robberies, with charges including robbery and evading arrest.
