The victim reported the theft yesterday within a contract area patrolled by Harris County Constable Precinct 4, according to the precinct's official Facebook page.
What followed was a quick response by the constable's deputies who managed, in commendable time, to track down and locate the suspect as they retrieved not just one, but two stolen tailgates, reuniting at least one with its rightful owner, this suspect, however, is not new to the scene, having been previously arrested for similar offenses and was out on bond for a case near 18000 Tomball Parkway.
