Police chased after three men suspected of robbing the Rudy's BBQ restaurant in Webster

WEBSTER, TX (KTRK) -- Three men will likely face multiple charges this morning after leading police on a chase in a Chrysler minivan.

It started around 2:30am this morning when Webster police responded to a burglary in progress call at Rudy's BBQ in the 21300 block of the Gulf Freeway.

Officers spotted three men exiting the building. The suspects then jumped into a minivan and began driving northbound on the Gulf Freeway.

Houston police officers joined in on the chase until the suspects pulled over and bailed out of the van on the East Loop at Clinton Drive.

A Webster police officer quickly caught one of the suspects. The other two took off into the nearby neighborhood.

HPD caanine units then located both suspects, one who was hiding under a house and was flushed out by the dog.

Charges against all three men are pending.
