On Wednesday morning at 2:46 a.m., an unknown suspect kicked in the door to a residence in the 5200 block of Huckleberry. The suspect entered the house, took a computer, and quickly vacated the scene. The resident's perimeter alarm had been set and was activated when entry was made. The alarm likely scared off the intruder. The resident was home but did not see anyone or any vehicles that may have been involved. At this time there is no forensic evidence, suspect description, or vehicle description for this incident. Please don't forget to set your alarm when leaving your residence for any reason.

The suspect is described only as a black male, about 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighs between 170 to 200 pounds. He was wearing a dark-colored baseball cap with a straight bill, a dark-colored thin, unbuttoned jacket, unknown color long pants and an unknown type of shoes. Senior Police Officer C. O. Mickens Jr., who was not injured in this incident, is assigned to the Special Operations Division. He was sworn in as an officer in February 1993. HPD Homicide Division Sergeant M. Dillingham and Senior Police Officer J. Bonaby III reported: Officer Mickens was working an approved extra job at an apartment complex at 1100 Augusta when he was approached by an unknown male suspect who, while holding a gun, tried to get in the officer's vehicle while the officer was inside. As Officer Mickens yelled out, the suspect fled on foot, westbound in the 5800 block of Sugar Hill Street. As Officer Mickens got out of his vehicle, the suspect turned towards him, pointed the gun and fired once. Officer Mickens did not discharge his duty weapon at the suspect due to being in a residential area. The suspect then ran and got into a waiting unknown make or model vehicle and fled westbound in the 5800 block of Sugar Hill. Anyone with information on this case or on the identity of the wanted suspect is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. The following is an account of a recent attack on neighbors in Westhaven Estates mid November 2009. It is copied from a recent email I received from a neighbor. Westhaven Estates is a great neighborhood to live in but everyone needs to pay attention to what’s happening around them and to be more diligent about locking doors and setting alarms. It’s a sign of the times and is happening all over Houston. Please take care and keep reports flowing this way so I can post them to our neighborhood website to keep everyone aware. Hi, everyone. I'm sending this to everyone I can think of that lives in the general vicinity of Briargrove, Westhaven, Tanglewood, close-in Memorial, etc., and are on my email list. Please pass this on to anyone else you can think of, especially if you have family, children, parents, friends, etc. in the area. Last night (Sun.), we returned home from dinner at about 9:00. There were numerous police cars parked directly across the street from us, and in front of a home where two, elderly people live. Some of the details are unclear, but the elderly couple's home was invaded by two black men, robbed and the woman was badly beaten. From what I hear now (I just talked to another neighbor) , the woman had to be taken to the hospital later that evening, but is doing better now. Forrest talked to the police, but even they seemed to be unsure if the men were in a car, or on foot, when they left the house. They're also not sure if the couple was followed home from somewhere earlier in the evening, and the two men hid until they found the appropriate time to assault them. The elderly man did take his trashcan to the curb after dark, and they think that possibly, the men got into his garage then, or followed him back up his driveway and thus, gained entrance into the house at that point. They may never really know for sure how it all took place, but the police said the crime in this area has skyrocketed over the last year and a half. Part of the issue they said, is the bus stop that's at the corner of Woodway and Potomac. It's easy access to this part of town, and an even easier exit, as the bus schedule runs constantly and often. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a "group" (maybe 5-6?) of young(er)men waiting for the bus, and I am most certain, they were probably not yardcrew related, nor employees of Houston Country Club. I have also seen recently, a couple of young men riding their bicycles around the neighborhood, and they too, do not look like they live in the area, nor have I ever seen them doing so before. After mentioning this, the police encouraged anyone who feels suspicious about such persons, to call. They said they've received numerous calls about such (people) lately, and especially, about this particular bus stop. In short, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN one of those that called, but didn't. It's just easy to blow this sort of thing off, and think you're overreacting.... I will now, though......... Awareness is crucial!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for taking time to read this. Hope it helps all of us. |
