Chick-fil-a joined in on celebrating back to school during their monthly Senior Bingo breakfast. With some throwing it back to yester-year with old class photos and retro outfits, it was a reminiscent morning for all. Officer Adams even got lucky with a BINGO of his own!

Do you recognize this purse thief? 🤔 A Louis Vuitton definitely does not match his outfit. 🙅‍♀️

On 8/20/2026 around 12:30pm, the male suspect depicted in the video stole a Louis Vuitton purse from the Panera Bread at 5855 W Fairmont Pkwy in Pasadena. The purse, which had accidentally been left on the back of a chair, is valued at $2800.

In the security video, you will see the H/M suspect sit across from the purse and push a chair to block it from view. At the end of his meal, the suspect gets a brown paper to-go bag, which he places on a chair beside the purse. He then stands to block the bag from view, and places the purse into the bag along with his leftovers.

The suspect exited the business without making any attempts to notify or return the purse to staff.

If you recognize the suspect, or have any information regarding this incident, please contact Detective R. Teepe at 📞 713-380-9386 or 📧 [email protected].

Officer Jesse Thomas Hamilton
End of Watch: August 21, 2009

Officer Jesse Hamilton served the Pasadena Police Department for four years before his life was tragically taken in the line of duty.

While responding to a domestic disturbance call during the early morning hours, Officer Hamilton encountered an armed subject after speaking with the subject’s mother. In that moment, he did what he had sworn to do – he worked to help another and placed their life above his own. Officer Hamilton was transported to an area hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Beyond the uniform, Officer Hamilton was a husband, a father and a loved friend, whose presence was a comfort in all of the lives he touched.

Today, we remember Officer Hamilton, not for the violence that took him from us, but for the life he lived, the service he gave and the memories he left behind.

The Pasadena Police Department is excited to share a website update with the community, done in collaboration with our Evidence and Property Unit. This latest addition will help owners locate, identify and claim items that have been determined to be abandoned, unclaimed, or otherwise subject to disposition under applicable law.

In accordance with Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 18.17, found, abandoned and safekeeping property can be viewed and claimed via the link below:

https://www.pasadenatx.gov/2046/Abandoned-or-Unclaimed-Property

If you believe the police department may be in possession of certain property, the page will be updated regularly with items as we seek their owners. Any person who believes they are the rightful owner of an item listed should follow the instructions provided to submit a claim.

As we launch this new page, our first priority is an attempt to locate possible victims from a 2017 Credit Card Cloning incident. The department is in possession of funds that were recovered in relation to a series of reports.

If you believe you were a victim of fraudulent ATM withdrawals around that time, please contact Sgt. J. Towers in the Property Room with any proof of victimization (i.e. account statements or claims made with your banking institution).
