Houston police rolled out a K9-assisted search early Saturday, sweeping the area around the 2700 block of Campbell as officers hunted for suspects in a reported theft.

Units from the Northwest division, the FOX unit and Patrol Support converged on the scene, turning a normally quiet stretch of Campbell into an active search grid.

HPD alert and contact info

According to Houston Police, "Northwest, FOX, K9 and Patrol Support are searching for theft suspects at 2700 Campbell." The department reminded residents that its non-emergency line is 713-884-3131 and that 911 should be used for emergencies.

Theft trends citywide

The search comes amid ongoing concern about property crime in Houston. The Houston Chronicle has reported that motor-vehicle theft rose roughly 15 to 16 percent into 2023, prompting dedicated auto-theft task forces.

Recent coverage of converter crooks tearing into a Houston FedEx yard in north Harris County has also highlighted a run of catalytic-converter and fleet-yard hits, underscoring why investigators keep K9 and support units ready for rapid response.

How to report tips

Anyone with information about the suspected theft is asked to contact Houston Police through the department's non-emergency number at 713-884-3131, or to call 911 if the situation is active.

Tippers can also remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS or by submitting information through Crime Stoppers' website, which outlines reporting options and access to its mobile app.

What to expect next

As of the initial alert, officials had not released suspect descriptions, arrest details or a timeline for the search. This story will be updated if Houston Police or other authorities release new information or announce an arrest.
