El Paso County saw swift justice on Thursday when a 25-year-old woman was detained in connection with the theft of a work truck in Fabens, as per reports from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office (EPCSO). The incident, initially reported to deputies around 12:45 p.m., took place in the 200 block of Northwest G, where the victim's vehicle, estimated to be worth $25,000, was declared stolen, KTSM reports.
In a collaborative effort to retrieve the stolen property, deputies along with the El Paso County Constable’s Office for Precinct 6 located and intercepted the truck while it was traveling southbound at the 1000 block of South Horizon; this occurred a mere few minutes before 2 p.m., demonstrating the quick response by law enforcement in locating the vehicle which was taken just under an hour earlier, as highlighted by CBS4 Local.
