HOUSTON — Police arrested a suspect Friday who was found hiding in a dumpster during an alarm call in the north Houston area.
Officers were dispatched to at 8:30 a.m. to a warehouse in the 3100 block of Farrell Road near Aldine Westfield.
HPD said the first unit was combing the area when they noticed signs of forced entry at a nearby building and called for backup.
While they were checking it out, investigators said the officers found a vehicle that reportedly had stolen license plates from Harris County.
Police continued to search the area until they came upon a dumpster, where the suspect was found hiding inside. He wouldn't reveal his hands to police, so one officer reportedly fired a weapon once.
No one was struck or injured.
And the suspect immediately surrendered to police.
Investigators are still searching the scene and reviewing surveillance video.
This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is available.
