Bellaire police arrest robbery suspects
By ANNE MARIE KILDAY
Bellaire police have arrested two more suspects in connection with a string of aggravated robberies in the city.
Terry Trammel Whiting has been charged with one count of aggravated robbery, according to Bellaire Assistant Police Chief Byron Holloway. Holloway said that one other charge is “pending” against Whiting. Esmeralda Unique Umana, 19, was charged with one count of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and possession of a crack cocaine. She is in the Harris County Jail, in lieu of $40,000 bond on the aggravated robbery charge and $10,000 bond on the possession of a controlled substance charge.
Bellaire police last week arrested two other suspects in connection with four aggravated robberies in Bellaire., which occurred from August 1 through August 11.
Michael James White, 30, and his brother, Dwight Leon Davis, 19, were arrested by Bellaire police Aug. 15. They both remain in the Harris County jail in lieu of $90,000 bond each. They are both charged with aggravated robbery.
The string of aggravated robberies began with the 8:30 p.m. Aug. 1 robbery of a Bellaire couple who were walking in the 8200 block of Alder Street.
Three other armed robberies followed, including two armed robberies in the early morning hours of Aug. 8, which occurred in the 4400 block of Camellia Street and and the 5000 block of Beech Street.
The fourth armed robbery happened Aug. 11 in the 500 block of S. Third Street.
Bellaire police cracked the case after receiving a tip from a television viewer who saw video surveillance of the robbery suspects on the Examiner’s broadcast news partner, ABC-13.
Holloway said that the Houston Police Department is investigating whether the suspects may have been involved in other robberies in the Houston area.
Holloway also said HPD did not assist the Bellaire Police Department in arresting the suspects, who were taken into custody at their residences in Houston.
