'Extremely unsophisticated': Man says he caught alleged Montrose serial burglar in neighbor's unit

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A break-in at two apartments in Braeswood on Friday led police to arrest the alleged serial Montrose burglar.. Bobby John Henry, 56, was arrested Friday and is facing six counts of burglary of a habitation. Jason Stein said he did not know Henry was wanted when he called 911.

He said he had gotten home from work at about 5 p.m. and was walking his dogs in the grass behind the complex when he saw some items on the ground outside of a neighbor's apartment. At first, Stein said he did not think much of it, but quickly realized something was off.

“I noticed that the other door was open and I saw someone throw an item out the window," Stein said. Stein put his dogs back in his apartment and started recording the man, later identified by police as Henry. Video shows Henry made it over a chain link fence into a field behind the complex and then put items into a bag.

"I yelled at him," Stein said.

“I asked him, 'Hey, what are you doing?' ' and he stood up and yelled belligerently. He was incoherent." He called 911 and said he was able to show police the video and point them in the man's direction.

He said he got a call shortly after from police confirming they had the man in custody. Stein did not know that Henry had open warrants for breaking into other homes until ABC13 told him on Saturday. Victims have told ABC13 over the last couple of weeks that the suspect stole jewelry and valuables.

He was caught on video crawling through their doggy doors and kitchen windows. Those same victims told ABC13 Saturday that after hearing that he was arrested, they were relieved. After looking at Henry's mugshot online that law enforcement put out during a news conference two weeks ago, Stein confirmed it was the same man. "

It's him for sure, and I'm quite surprised at that," Stein said. "

Assuming that, by what I saw, he looked extremely unsophisticated." Henry remains in jail as of Saturday night. For more on this story, , X and Instagram.
