Just after 2 am on February 6, deputies responded to a call about people walking through a Panther Creek neighborhood in The Woodlands and checking car door handles. When Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived, they spotted two suspects dressed in black with latex gloves, who ran off on foot.
