Sheriff Investigating Suspects for Multiple Burglaries in The Woodlands

By  | 

On August 2, 2019, at about 2:12 a.m., The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a victim who lives in the 100 block of Eagle Rock, The Woodlands, TX advising he caught a black male inside of his car.  The victim advised that the male suspect took off running and he gave chase.  The victim advised the suspect jumped into a truck that was parked down the road waiting on the suspect.  The victim also advised the suspect truck crashed into a vehicle that was parked on the street.  

The victim gave chase providing law enforcement with the location of the suspect truck.  During the chase, the victim struck the rear of the suspect’s truck with his vehicle.  Law enforcement from multiple agencies caught up to the suspect vehicle at the intersection of Robinson Road and Maplewood Dr in Oak Ridge North.   Deputies detained both occupants identified as Jques Minor (B/M) 19 years of age and Devon Speights (B/M) 18 years of age.  Both suspects are from the Houston area. 

During the investigation, Deputies discovered that the truck the suspects were driving had been reported stolen by Sugarland Police Department.  Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office also learned the suspects could be linked to multiple burglaries in the City of Sugarland.  The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Sugarland Police Department are working together to determine how many burglaries these suspects have committed and to return any property to their owners. 

Both suspects were transported to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Jail.  Minor was charged with burglary of a motor vehicle and Speights was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. 

This is still an active investigation and involves multiple law enforcement agencies.
