Thieves Caught on Camera Walking Into Heights Area Small Business
HOUSTON, Texas โ The owner of Drape Stage Productions, a small events and production business located in Houston's historic Heights area, is speaking out after thieves were captured on camera boldly walking into the premises and stealing valuable equipment.
A Bold Daytime Theft
Surveillance footage from the business shows the suspects entering the facility with ease.

The business owner expressed shock at the sheer audacity of the crime, noting that the perpetrators seemed to know exactly what they were looking for and showed no fear of detection.
"They just walked in like they owned the place. For a small business like ours, losing specialized production gear is a massive blow to our operations and schedule."
