Authorities chased people suspected of armed robbery and car theft across Houston highways Tuesday night and early Wednesday, in one case reaching speeds of more than 140 mph, officials said. Eight suspects were taken into custody and no one was injured in the three separate high-speed police pursuits.
In the first case, two people around 10:30 p.m. robbed a convenience store at gunpoint, said Lt. R. Willkens of the Houston Police Department. The duo grabbed money from the cash register and fled in a silver Chevy Impala from the store, located at 738 Lathrop Street in northeast Houston.
