Police Arrest Four Suspects, Impound Six Stolen Vehicles in Bellaire

For third time this week, police officials asked residents to search yards and property for handguns.

BELLAIRE, TX — Bellaire Police officers were sent to the 5500 block of Little Lake around 3:30 on Friday morning and encountered four individuals and six suspected stolen vehicles. After a foot chase, the suspects were apprehended and arrested by Bellaire, Houston, and West University officers.

According to police officials, a loaded magazine from a Glock handgun was found near where the suspects were caught, and though authorities now say they are confident no guns were disposed of by the suspects, Bellaire Police Chief Byron Holloway had earlier in the day asked residents in the area to search their property for a handgun.

“Residents in the 5500 blocks of Little Lake, 5500 Grand Lake, and 5300 Braeburn are asked to check the area around their house for any items that do not belong to them. If a gun or any other out of place items are located, DO NOT TOUCH; call the Bellaire Police Department at 713.668.0487 immediately."
