Looting was mentioned by Houston's Police Chief on KHOU Storm LIVE
STREAMING coverage last night, _*as REASON FOR creating a 10 p.m. to 5
a.m. curfew in Houston City Limits*_, citing looting in a number of
subdivisions and bedroom communities, even West University Place was
mentioned as where criminal activity was becoming a problem in areas
where people had evacuated due to the floods.
_*HPD is being supplemented by Texas National Guard in enforcement of
the curfew, stating the only exceptions would be to those assisting
rescues and volunteers at evacuation centers*_, then a reporter asked if
the NEWS MEDIA was included, to which Houston mayor turner replied, NO
WE NEED THE NEWS MEDIA to report what is going on & he mentioned that is
how HE (Mayor Turner) keeps informed.
So, be sure your family is HOME between the HOURS OF 10 P.M. and 5 A.M.
(Some other surrounding cities have slightly different curfew hours, so
listen to the MEDIA in your community.!

Ive been monitoring just the Southwest HPD dispatch during this whole
storm window. We are not seeing it on TV, but burglaries and looting
have been relentless since the water started going down. They are
backed up at least a couple dozen calls this morning. Even the
Valero's near Chimney Rock and North Braeswood has been looted, and it
serves as sort of a staging area the police stay at regularly. I was
told that even the Beldens grocery store got looted, but I have not
verified this. Walked the area and saw they have barricaded the doors
at Beldens with stacks of pallets, and a sign on front saying Armed
Guard Inside. Dont even think that it is all peaceful out there.
