Man arrested for shoplifting almost $3K worth of merchandise from H-E-B in NW Harris County

Few institutions are more revered in the Houston area than the H-E-B grocery store chain. When you’re in Texas, you don’t want to get caught messing with your local H-E-B.

A man in northwest Houston learned that lesson the hard way.

Last night, deputies with Harris County Pct. 4 Constable Mark Herman apprehended a man accused of theft at an H-E-B store in the Klein area, located at 5251 FM-2920 Road.

The man was accused of attempting to steal a total of $2,850.50 worth of merchandise from the store. Authorities posted a picture of the recovered items, and the haul mostly consisted of makeup and cosmetic products.
