Houston police alerted the public to this high-end crime ring back in May. So far, 24 suspects have been arrested.

HOUSTON — Houston police are hoping to leave no stone unturned in the investigation into a suspected extensive and organized crime ring that targets people shopping in high-end areas.

Police said these suspects are targeting areas like the Galleria, Uptown and Highland Village. Some of the suspects follow their victims to their homes and rob them. Some are even killed. 

"They’re looking at luxury rides, exotic cars, in conjunction with flashy expensive jewelry," said Tinsley Guinn-Shaver with the Houston Police Department Robbery Division.
