A young girl who may have been kidnapped has been found safe after a police chase ended on Longwood Garden Way, HPD says

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Three people have been arrested after police say a girl who may have been trafficked was found at the end of a police chase.

Houston police said the chase began just after 8 p.m. Monday at a gas station in the 8100 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard, not far from Hobby Airport, and ended about five miles away at a home on Longwood Garden Way.

Officers were asked to conduct a welfare check on a girl who may have been kidnapped. HPD said the girl was reported as a runaway, but after she was seen with a man, there were concerns she was being trafficked.

When officers arrived at the Valero gas station on MLK Boulevard and saw the suspect’s car, the driver immediately took off, prompting a pursuit, according to HPD.

The suspect eventually stopped at a home on Longwood Garden Way, and police said the driver and the young girl got out and ran inside.

Officers arrested three people at the home and said everyone inside the home was cooperating with investigators.

At this time it is unclear what charges could be filed. The police would not immediately say how the child is doing.
