HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said he is not going to tolerate criminals taking advantage of people in the community during such a devastating time.

He said his officers arrested a crew of people with guns robbing members of our community Monday night. They found them after a pursuit and took them into custody.

“This is the state of Texas. We are a welcoming city, but we are not going to tolerate people victimizing others,” Acevedo said.
