Two suspected burglars, including a teenager, were nabbed by law enforcement officials after they allegedly broke into and vandalized a local business in Harris County. According to the Facebook page of Constable Mark Herman's Office, the incident occurred at the China Co, situated at 5400 block of FM 1960 Road.

Deputies arrived swiftly on the scene late Sunday night to find two male suspects caught inside the closed business establishment. The individuals were identified as Ryan Epps and an unnamed 15-year-old juvenile. The mischievous duo was accused of discharging fire extinguishers within the premises, resulting in over $4,000 in damages. A break-in that turned into a snowy disaster for the unsuspecting owners.

"Ryan Epps was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Burglary of a Building. His bond was set at $1,000.00 out of the 209th District Court. The juvenile was arrested and booked into the Juvenile Detention Center, charged with Burglary of a Building and Criminal Mischief," the Constable's statement read. This quick clampdown by the deputies meant to send a clear signal to potential wrongdoers that such felonious acts would not be taken lightly.
