ByHouston business owners are asking the police for help and warn customers about car break-ins despite data showing that property crimes are low.Newly released data from the FBI shows that property crimes are down in the Houston Police Department's jurisdiction, but some argue they are merely being underreported.
Statistics compiled by the FBI show that 97,005 property crimes were reported to HPD in 2021. The reports increased to 105,432 in 2022 and fell slightly in 2023 to 104,246. Business owners in the U.S. 59 corridors of the Upper Kirby area said they deal with multiple car break-ins weekly. They spoke off-camera to ABC13 so as not to harm their business.
One restaurant resorted to giving customers a card with the menus to give them an extra reminder to secure their cars and to let customers know that the calls are not a high priority for police.
