Six Arrested as Authorities Dismantle Multi-County Burglary Ring in Southeast Texas

CONROE, Texas — Six Houston-area suspects, all known gang members, have been arrested following an investigation that authorities say dismantled a burglary ring responsible for a series of commercial break-ins across multiple Southeast Texas counties.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Crime Reduction Unit launched the investigation after a burglary at a Shell gas station in The Woodlands. Investigators quickly identified a suspect vehicle and its registered owner, Tyrese Nicholas.

According to the sheriff’s office, investigators later determined the same vehicle and suspects were involved in a burglary at a Tractor Supply store in Conroe on the same night.

As the investigation progressed, authorities discovered the burglary operation extended across Montgomery, Harris, Walker and Grimes counties. Investigators located the suspect vehicle in Houston and partnered with the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division, which connected the group to additional burglaries in Navasota, Huntsville and Willis.

On March 3, 2026, deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office West Command pursued suspects believed to be connected to the burglary ring. Investigators later determined the suspects had just committed a burglary in Grimes County. The pursuit resulted in the arrest of Angel Ponce on a charge of evading arrest.

On April 9, 2026, Crime Reduction Unit investigators, working with the Conroe Police Department, conducted a traffic stop involving two vehicles linked to the burglary crew. Authorities identified all occupants and recovered stolen property from a Huntsville burglary, including tobacco products and clothing allegedly worn during the crime.

Investigators worked with the Texas Department of Public Safety, Houston Police Department, Conroe Police Department, Tomball Police Department and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office to secure arrest warrants for six suspects on charges of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity.

The suspects arrested are:

• 31-year-old Angel C. Ponce
• 24-year-old Tyrese J. Nicholas
• 33-year-old Reginald W. Bryant
• 23-year-old Kameron D. Rivera-Davis
• 37-year-old Warrick E. Mason
• 30-year-old Jaylin T. Jefferson

According to investigators, all six suspects are from the Houston area and are now in custody.

Authorities estimate the burglary ring is responsible for approximately $25,000 in stolen property, including power tools, hand tools, cigarettes, clothing and other tobacco products.

The investigation involved assistance from multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, Conroe Police Department, Houston Police Department, Tomball Police Department, Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Grimes County Sheriff’s Office, Huntsville Police Department and Walker County Sheriff’s Office.
