FLOCK INVESTIGATION RESULTS IN TWO ARRESTS

Officers responded to a traffic camera (FLOCK) investigation of a vehicle connected to a missing juvenile out of Snyder, TX. Officers first observed the vehicle at RaceTrac and initiated an investigation. During the course of the investigation it was discovered the missing juvenile, a 16 year old female, was with a documented gang member with felony warrants. Additionally, a stolen purse and narcotics were located in the vehicle. Officers contacted the owner of the purse, and it was discovered that the purse and its contents were stolen during a vehicle burglary only days prior. Two arrests were made on charges to include Harboring Runaway Child and Possession. Due to the officers’ quick response, further criminal activity was prevented from taking place in our city.

OFFICER PRESENCE INTERCEDES ORGANIZED THEFT ACTIVITY

Officers were dispatched to Target in reference to a shoplifting in progress. Dispatch was able to get detailed descriptions of the suspects, as they were leaving the emergency exit of Target with stolen goods. This information was quickly given to patrol officers on the call. One officer was able to identify the suspects, while inside a vehicle as they were leaving the scene. The officer initiated their emergency lights and siren, and the driver of the vehicle attempted to evade that officer. Due to our officers’ ability to work as a team and create a heavy presence in the area in a short period of time, the vehicle was apprehended just behind Target at the intersection of Towne Crossing and W Debbie Ln. The total amount of the theft was $970.93. During the course of the investigation, narcotics were also found in the vehicle. Four individuals were arrested on scene with pending charges to include Evading with a Vehicle, Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity, and Possession of Narcotics.
