A Houston Police Department substation closed Wednesday because high

levels of mold were detected in the building, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Officials said the southwest patrol substation on Beechnut Street

near Newcastle Drive will be closed while the building is cleaned.

Officers will work out of a mobile substation in the parking lot.

About 150 people work in the building. No one has reported becoming

ill.

Police said the temporary closure will not affect patrols or their

response to emergency calls.

Officials posted signs to advise people wishing to file a police

report to go to the Westbury storefront in the 5600 block of South

Willow Drive or the Hiram e storefront in the 14700 block of

Hiram e Drive.
