Around 10:30 p.m. last night, several people were inside a Sugar Land home in the 3000 block of Rivera when multiple suspects broke in through the back door.
Police suspect the family was targeted by criminals who believed that cash receipts from the family’s small businesses may have been stored in their home.
The occupants were tied up, a number if valuables were taken, but there were no serious injuries.
A Sugar Land police officer, responding to the call for help, saw a suspicious car heading north on U.S. 59 with occupants matching the descriptions of the suspects.
Two police cars followed the car into Houston city limits. The suspects stopped the car and ran in an area near Sharpstown Mall. Officers chased the suspects on foot, and caught one.
Police arrested 32-year-old Elmer Marquez, who is believed to be an illegal immigrant. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement was notified.
Stolen property from the residence was located in the suspects’ vehicle. No other details are being released at this time pending the investigation.
This is egg on the face of all Texans. It’s time to take a stand and kick out all the illegal SOB’s once and for all. I am not a hate monger, but these folks do not follow the rules and… if this story is correct, they endanger working Americans.
Are you really expecting any government to enforce the law? The law is enforced selectively, not fairly and often not at all, yet we maintain more and more policing agencies and spend more and more on it every year.
Not only do we have crime in Fort Bend County but the situation is made worse by the fact that our towns have never taken a stand on illegal immigration. Are we sanctuary cities? Why don’t our politicians, city officials, and police chiefs do something about this situation before we become like Houston, where police officers’ lives are threatened on a regular basis by illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds.
