Houston police are reporting a record number of guns stolen from cars last year within city limits.
"It’s really almost out of control," said HPD Auto Theft Sgt. Tracy Hicks. "It’s a number that should be zero, but it keeps going up."In 2022, there 4,140 firearms reported to police as stolen from vehicles in Houston. That number is up from 3,706 in 2021, 2,967 in 2020, 2,563 in 2019, and 2,125 in 2018.
"Public safety, focusing in on those violent individuals, that’s our number one priority," said HPD Chief Troy Finner at Wednesday’s city council meeting. "Having a lot of new gun owners who are not as experienced, maybe they don’t know they’re supposed to take their guns out of their vehicles, [and] lock them up," said Kyle Harrison, General Manager of Top Gun Range.
