Police report a surge in burglaries from 54 to 70 and thefts from 184 to 188 since January, even as auto thefts fall from 35 to 26. Chief Byron Jones cites opportunity, ignition leave practices, and visible gadgets as factors, with Baytown population rising from 66,430 to over 70,000 in five years.
Baytown faces rising crime as annexed areas around Garth Road and Interstate 10 attract burglars and auto theft. Property losses since January total 994,834, up 30 percent from 766,056 in 2006, while recovered property rose from 30 percent to 40 percent. Police urge resident vigilance to aid protection as more criminals surface with shorter sentences.
A recent storm cleared but left cool temperatures in the 50s to 60s with a forecast of scattered Friday thunderstorms and a cold front extending through the weekend. Local events were canceled including Sterling High baseball, Lee High soccer, Barbers Hill baseball, and Wayne Gray Complex softball. Commuters reported slow traffic but normal rush hours, and officials noted indoor activities remained popular as outdoor plans were deterred by the unsettled weather.
