“We have developed information that there were two adult male suspects wearing baggy, light colored clothing and carrying backpacks. It appears that the suspects traveled on foot from Cross Timbers to Tanglewood looking for open vehicles and residences. Based upon available information we believe the offenses happened between 12:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m.
“As always please place valuable items inside your home, lock vehicle and residential doors and contact 9-1-1 if you observe any suspicious behavior,” police stated in a press release.
The offenses are currently under investigation. If you have any information that may be of assistance please contact DOPD Investigator C. Murphy at 972-355-5995.
