On December 20, Houston Police Department Westside officers
responded to a burglary in the 8700 block of Leawood. When they arrived
they met Ms. Guillory, who stated she came home to a broken window and
all her Christmas presents for her grandson stolen. There was wrapping
paper on floor and it appeared the suspects had unwrapped the gifts before they
stole them. The suspects also went upstairs in Ms. Guillory’s townhouse and
stole several pieces of jewelry she owned.
Mr. Guillory stated that the presents were for her grandson
and she had spent all of her money to buy him the presents, mostly clothes that
he needed. The officers were touched and wanted to do something to assist
Guillory. They pooled their money and asked for additional help from
other Westside officers. They collected enough money to be able to
present Ms. Guillory with a gift card to replace all the Christmas presents!
