Houston police arrested five robbery suspects after a short chase early this morning.




Three people complaining of being robbed in the parking lot of the El Chaparral nightclub near Northwest Mall, near the intersection of the 610 Loop and U.S. 290, around 2 a.m. alerted a Houston officer working security there, police said. Another Houston officer began chasing the five suspects' SUV in north Houston.

The suspects ditched the SUV at Waltway and Corbin and ran away. Three were captured quickly and the other two were found later with the help of police dogs, authorities said.

Police said they recovered weapons as well as belongings of the victims.

Chronicle news partner KHOU-TV provided this report.
