Pearland, TX – On October 16, 2025, at approximately 12:14 a.m., Pearland Police Officers received a Flock Safety Alert indicating that a known Burglary of Motor Vehicle (BMV) suspect had entered the city near the 14500 block of South Freeway (SH 288 South). The suspect, known for targeting vehicles at local businesses, was quickly located by a night shift patrol officer in the 13900 block of South Freeway.

The officer observed the suspect park between two vehicles, exit, and force entry into one vehicle before attempting to enter another that was unlocked. Additional officers arrived and strategically surrounded the suspect’s vehicle to prevent a potential pursuit. The suspect initially tried to reverse but stopped when realizing all exits were blocked. Despite repeated verbal commands, he refused to exit the vehicle.
