Theft Suspects Arrested Following High-Speed Chase from The Woodlands to Harris County

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- On January 4, 2025, Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 1500 block of Lake Woodlands Drive in reference to a theft in progress at Best Buy. As the Deputies were en route to the scene, they were informed that the suspects had fled in a U-haul truck just moments before their arrival. Deputies with the Woodlands Township Patrol were able to quickly locate the U-haul, which led to a pursuit when the vehicle failed to stop.

The two individuals pictured above were arrested on several charges, including evading, possession of controlled substance, outstanding warrants and theft. They are currently being held at the Montgomery County Jail. This investigation continues and further charges may be pending on additional suspects.
