4 suspects arrested stealing generators from Tractor Supply

ENNIS – Ennis Police made quick arrests on July 30 in the afternoon after being notified four men had exited the Tractor Supply store in the 300 block of Interstate 45 with three stolen generators.

An employee from the Tractor Supply called police advising them of the theft.

All four suspects were arrested and charged with engaging in organized criminal activity.

The two suspects who also attempted to flee were also charged with evading arrest/detention.
