Deputies Arrest Suspects In Pharmacy Burglary.

<p>(Harris County, TX)&nbsp; Harris County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office District 1 patrol deputies responded to an In Progress alarm call at a Walgreens Pharmacy located in the 12700 block of Bammel N Houston at around 4:00 am this morning Wednesday, October 26, 2016.</p>

<p>Deputy J. Sauzo arrived and found three suspects exiting a drive thru window that had been broken in order to gain entry into the pharmacy.</p>

<p>The suspects ran to a parked van in an attempt to flee, but instead ran to a wooded tree line in back of the building.</p>

<p>Additional deputies were dispatched along with a K 9 deputy to set a perimeter.</p>

<p>Two of the three suspects were captured &nbsp;by deputy Love and his partner &ldquo;Gerard&rdquo; trying to conceal themselves in tall grass.&nbsp; A third subject did evade the perimeter search but Burglary and Theft investigators are confident of an arrest.</p>

<p>Deputies recovered two large black plastic bags filled with prescription drugs.</p>

<p>They included bottles of amphetamines, Ritalin, Focalin and Codeine.</p>

<p>Charges are pending at this time on all three suspects.</p>

<p>Deputies J. Sauzo, C. Bloomfield, G. Quellhorst and C.Wilkerson answered the call for service quickly and secured the area rapidly to contain the suspects.</p>

<p>Deputy G. Love and his canine partner &ldquo;Gerard&rdquo; deserve a job well done for the swift capture of two of the suspects.</p>
