THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has charged three suspects; Dakota Garcia, Zach Norman and Destiny Hampton, with Organized Retail Theft in connection with incidents at Walmart stores in Montgomery and The Woodlands.

The investigation began after a reported theft on November 4, 2026, at the Walmart on College Park Drive in The Woodlands. Surveillance footage indicated the suspects passed all points of sale with two carts containing more than $2,500 in unpaid merchandise. All three suspects left together in the same vehicle.

On November 6, as part of an MCSO Proactive Retail Theft Blitz Operation, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) observed the same suspects at the Walmart on N. Loop 336 in Conroe.

The suspects later traveled to the Walmart on Highway 105 West in Montgomery. CRU personnel reported observing them select merchandise, pass all points of sale without paying and load the items into their vehicle. Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Deputies detained all three suspects and MCSO Property Crimes Detectives arrived on scene to continue their investigation. All three suspects were charged with Organized Retail Theft for both the November 4 and November 6 incidents.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may follow.

Proactive Retail Theft Blitz Operations continue.
