The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office is asking for help putting a name to the face of a man investigators say broke into Westland Market late last month, a case that is adding to small businesses' ongoing worries about property crime.
What the sheriff's post says
In a social media post, the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office shared a series of surveillance stills labeled "BURGLARY SUSPECT 6 DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?" and said the break-in happened last Wednesday at Westland Market on the 7400 block of FM Road 1187. According to the post, the suspect is described as a Hispanic male with dark brown hair and a beard who arrived on a silver scooter and was seen checking all the doors on the property before the theft. Investigators asked anyone with information to contact TCSO Investigations at 817-884-1305 or email [email protected], according to the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office.

Suspect details and scene
The surveillance images released by the sheriff's office show the man near entryways and on a scooter within the market's camera frames, mirroring the description in the post. The sheriff's office has not announced any arrests in the case and has not said what, if anything, was taken in the burglary.
How to give tips
Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the individual to call the investigations unit at 817-884-1305 or email the address listed in the sheriff's post. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County, which operates a hotline and an online tip form.
Why this matters for local businesses
Convenience stores and small retailers are frequent targets for after-hours break-ins, and law enforcement often leans on the public to help ID suspects using surveillance stills. The sheriff's recent social posts and safety reminders highlight the office's push to get more tips from residents and local merchants, echoing themes noted in Hoodline's previous coverage of the agency's safety advisories.
What investigators ask of witnesses
Officials are urging anyone with video, photos, or other information related to the incident to contact investigators rather than approaching a possible suspect themselves.
