E Sunnyside St, Houston, TX 77076

Officers were sent to a report of a recent robbery and stolen vehicle near East Sunnyside Street in Houston, involving a white pickup truck and a 9 millimeter handgun that was believed to have been taken from the truck. Dispatch gave a description of a young man and later another man, and units discussed whether the situation was a carjacking or someone known to the caller. Further information showed the truck was still parked and locked on the lawn and that the person involved was a friend who had been trying to help, so the incident was treated as a misunderstanding about a possible theft rather than a robbery. The described male left the area on foot before officers arrived.
