THE WOODLANDS, TX — Two men are being charged with burglary of a vehicle and theft of a firearm after leading authorities on a car chase Wednesday, according to a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Authorities identified the men as Cameron Bullen, 24, of Houston and Christopher Thomas, 22, of Katy. Bullen also is charged with evading arrest with a previous conviction.

Sheriff’s deputies and a Shenandoah police unit responded to a burglary near Lake Front Circle in The Woodlands. According to authorities, a silver Chevrolet Tahoe abruptly drove away from a parked vehicle with a window broken out, exiting a Luby’s parking lot at high speed.

Police said the vehicle fled an attempted traffic stop, triggering a pursuit, which continued into Harris County. Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies deployed road spikes, which punctured the suspect vehicle’s tires. Two suspects continued the pursuit on foot, but K9 units from Montgomery County Constable Precinct 3 and Harris County Sheriff’s Office found them.

Authorities found five stolen firearms in the suspect’s vehicle, along with a lower rifle receiver and other personal property.
