Suspect Caught in Swamp By K9 After Retail Theft Incident at Humble Target
Good Boy!

The Humble Police Department recently responded to a retail theft incident at a Target store involving a group of known thieves attempting to steal merchandise by filling shopping carts.

When officers attempted to apprehend one of the suspects, the individual fled on foot into a wooded area behind the store. A perimeter was established with the assistance of Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies and a Houston Police Department helicopter, which provided aerial support in the search.

The suspect was eventually located submerged in several feet of water in a swamp behind the store. Under guidance from the police helicopter, K9 Jeffery was deployed to “encourage” a peaceful surrender. Initially refusing to exit the swamp, the suspect ultimately complied and was taken into custody.

The male suspect is charged with evading arrest/detention. Police credited the teamwork between multiple agencies for the successful resolution of the situation.
