Default BEWARE of this area in Houston.......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are in the Friendswood area around Bay Area Blvd and 528 or near there, there are a group of guys trying to carjack people with modded vehicles!! A friend last night was in that area picking someone up for work and they pulled guns on him trying to get his car. His car is turbo'd with a built bottom end and he hit the gas to get away.. While getting away he was spotted by a cop hauling *** ( clocked at 105 then ) and got pulled over, he explained what happened and the officer said there have been a few complaints of it, so he didnt get in trouble..

Discription of perps:

In a 2 door Chrysler (he thinks a sebring) that was black or a flat black. This happened around 11:00 pm so he couldnt tell. There were around 6 of them with guns.. This is all I know at this point but if in the area, BE AWARE of your surroundings!! Even if you are carrying your pistols, which my friend and I both do because this hasnt been the first attempted jackings for either one of us, just run and call the cops.. There are 6 of them and would rather nothing happen.....

No problem, also they need to be spotted so they can get their *** caught up with the police.

I live right down the street from there in the Neighborhood that has had some trouble lately. Needless to say, I now set the alarm and my Rottweiler stays in the house all day. They are suppose to be putting a gate on my street as well as putting up some video cameras. Plus, the Police have been patrolling very often. After IKE hit, we have gotten some pretty shady characters on this side of Friendswood that have seemed to migrate North from Galveston into the apartments on the Northwest side of 528. Looks like we'll have to start paying more attention to what's going on around us. I carry at least one gun all the time. However, if 6 guys storm the car with guns...I think running is probably the smartest thing to do.

Let us know any other details!

John
