HOUSTON – Authorities have made an arrest in connection to a string a home break-ins around Montrose.
Houston Police announced the arrest of Bobby John Henry, 56, dubbed by authorities as the central Houston “Spiderman”, on Saturday morning. He was taken into custody on Friday evening, according to court records.
Court records show Henry faces multiple felony counts of burglary in Harris County. Authorities have previously said they are reviewing additional cases that may tie him to HPD reports.
In the past year alone, court records say Henry is linked to at least six different burglaries.
On March 6, the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office held a press conference, identifying Henry as a suspect by showing surveillance video of a home break-in where he is crawling through a window.
Detectives said Henry targeted homes while residents were away at work, grabbing items such as jewelry, electronics and family heirlooms to sell at pawn shops.
Henry has an extensive criminal history and outstanding warrants out of Travis and Milam counties, investigators said.
He is scheduled for a preliminary appearance in court on Monday morning.
