League City, TX – On January 28, 2026, the League City Police Department’s Business District Unit (BDU) conducted a retail “Blitz” operation in the commercial area surrounding West FM 646 and the South Gulf Freeway.
A “Blitz” operation is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and local business loss prevention and asset protection teams. These operations employ both overt and covert, targeted enforcement strategies designed to detect, identify, and interdict criminal activity within and around retail establishments.
As a result of this operation, officers arrested 30-year-old Keleigh Goggans of Alvin and 35-year-old Richard Bolton of Liverpool. During the operation, H-E-B employees observed Goggans place two briskets into a hand-held shopping cart and exit the store without paying. BDU officers detained Goggans, who attempted to identify herself using an out-of-state driver’s license belonging to another individual. Bolton was identified as an accomplice and was later located hiding inside a nearby Subway restaurant.
Goggans was taken into custody for theft, and Bolton was arrested on an outstanding Harris County warrant. During the booking process at the League City Jail, officers discovered both individuals were in possession of multiple credit cards and identifying information belonging to other individuals, including deceased persons.
Further investigation revealed Goggans’ true identity and multiple outstanding warrants from Galveston, Harris, and Brazoria counties, including a warrant stemming from a prior theft at the same H-E-B location. In addition to her outstanding warrants, Goggans was charged with misdemeanor Theft, misdemeanor Fail to Identify – Fugitive from Justice, and a felony charge of Possession of Identifying Information (5–10 items), with a bond set at $40,000. Bolton was charged with felony Credit/Debit Card Abuse, also with a $40,000 bond.
These enforcement efforts highlight the importance of strong partnerships between the League City Police Department and local business stakeholders. Intervening in seemingly minor offenses often leads to the discovery of more serious criminal activity and helps prevent future victimization within the community.
