Quick Response Leads to Arrests in Bellaire Theft Attempt

On the evening of January 15, 2025, a Bellaire resident was followed home from his place of business, a local jewelry store, by two individuals later identified as Timothy Singleton and Stafford Johnson. Upon arriving at his residence, the suspects blocked the victim’s vehicle in his driveway and proceeded to steal several items.

As the suspects attempted to flee the scene, their vehicle crashed, and they fled on foot. The Bellaire Special Response Team (SRT), who had been mobilized earlier in the day, was returning to their station and quickly responded to the call. The SRT located both suspects hiding in a nearby parking garage.

Thanks to the prompt actions of the Bellaire SRT, all stolen property was recovered and returned to the victim. Singleton and Johnson were arrested and charged with theft ranging from $2,500 to $30,000.
