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.
