WAXAHACHIE - The Waxahachie Police Department is seeking help to identify the
couple pictured to the right.
Sgt. Brad Doughty advised the two used stolen checks to purchase gift cards
recently.
On Friday, Dec. 19 during the late evening hours the victims Ford F-150 was
parked in Don Jose's restaurant parking lot where it was burglarized while the
victims were patronizing at Don Jose's.
According to reports, the victim's mother had left her purse in the vehicle
along with several other items.
Within hours of the vehicle burglary, the man with the tattoos and the female,
who appears to be pregnant with a gray hoodie, used the victims checks and
credit cards to purchase numerous gift cards and other miscellaneous items from
Wal-Mart in Waxahachie, Ennis and Lancaster as well as a trip to Mesquite.
"We believe these two suspects to be responsible for several other car burglary
cases we're investigating in our city along with the fraud crimes that follow
the car burglaries," stated Doughty.
Law enforcement across the nation cannot stress enough the public should never
leave anything in plain view locked in their cars, especially during the
holidays.
"Purses should be locked in a trunk with the wallet removed," advised Doughty.
Christmas shopping stops should be limited so the vehicle is not piled up with
gifts that may be too large or too difficult to hide out of plain view or expect
to make several trips to and from home to unload.
Police are hoping someone will be able to identify the tattoos on the male's
forearm.
Anyone with information should contact Doughty at 972-937-9940.
