After arrests in Austin lead police to Houston, they know believe they have uncovered a burglary ring that's stretched across at least four states.

Multiple agencies raided two homes Thursday night and arrested three suspects.

Brandon Davis, Lontay Young and James Turner all claim to be members of the street gang the Bloods. They're behind bars in Austin after allegedly trying to break into a pharmacy there.

Rene Garza's pharmacy has been hit at least five times.

"We could tell it was a professional crew by how they were coming in, what they were doing, how quickly they were going through the store," Garza said.

Undercover officers from the Austin Police Department were in Houston on Thursday to join other detectives and execute two search warrants at two different homes.

"When Austin called and said they arrested these three men, we told them we were very familiar with all three of them," HPD Sgt. Richard Nieto said.

Investigators found boxes of evidence at the homes, including a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition and a sawed-off, double barrel shotgun. They also recovered gloves, several Palm Pilots, a bolt-cutter, sledgehammer, an ax and saw blades.

But maybe the most significant find: prescription drugs.

APD also found a portable GPS machine inside of their car.

"With several different addresses of pharmacies in Austin, and a handwritten note with pharmacies and their addresses," Veneza Aguinaga said.

The police departments hope the arrests will slow down drug thefts.
