HOUSTON – A man has been arrested after Houston police say he stole an ATV worth approximately $60,000 at a body shop near Webster on Thursday afternoon, police say.
Police said it all started at the business in the 15500 block of Highway 3 at around noon.
According to J. Robles with the Houston Police Department, the suspected thief hopped onto the ATV and fled the area.
The owner of the body shop witnessed the robbery and reportedly chased the suspect through a nearby neighborhood until police said the suspect crashed and flipped the stolen ATV.
Robles said the owner confronted the suspect as he attempted to flee on foot, and that was when police said he pulled out a gun and fired two shots at the floor.
The suspected robber ran inside a McDonald’s where an HPD officer was inside at the time. He later arrested the thief.
No one was hurt.
The Harris County DA’s Office will review the case to decide if charges, if any, could be filed against the business owner, according to police.
