Part Of A Pattern Along FM 1960

Property crime has also cropped up elsewhere along the busy FM 1960 East corridor this year. Deputies arrested a suspect in a forced-entry commercial burglary in the 4600 block of FM 1960 Road East, a case Hoodline previously reported was cracked with the help of surveillance footage.

Constable Mark Herman's Office is asking residents to share tips about the church burglary.
Anyone with information on the identities of the two men seen on bicycles near the church is urged to contact dispatch. Investigators have not said what, if anything, was taken from inside the shed.
