Four suspects, including a man and his nephew, have been arrested in connection to a string of jewelry store robberies in northwest Harris County, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. The suspects, identified as Dexter Mitchell, Reginald Mitchell, Christian Venson, and Shonton Howard, were involved in several smash-and-grab robberies at jewelry stores located within supermarkets. The robberies took place at various locations between November and December 2024, resulting in the theft of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and extensive property damage.
All four men have been charged with Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity and Aggravated Robbery, with the use of a deadly weapon during the crimes. The arrests were made in connection to the incidents at El Rancho Supermercado on Veterans Memorial Drive, El Rancho on North Fry Road, El Rancho on Highway 6 North, and Food Town on FM 529.
Authorities suspect that the group may also be connected to similar crimes in other parts of Harris County and in the Dallas area. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information on related incidents is urged to contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
Details about the arrests and what led up to them have not been disclosed. The arrests mark a significant breakthrough in the case, as law enforcement works to ensure the safety and security of the community against organized criminal activity.
