Residential Burglary Suspects Sought

TYLER — Tyler Police need your help in identifying two suspects involved in residential burglaries. Police are seeking information on two Hispanic males, in their late teens to early 20’s, who were last seen driving a light brown or gold older model mini-van.

Monday morning, a witness walking in the 1100 block of East Watkins Street around 10:30 heard two loud bangs coming from a residence. The witness stopped to look and observed two Hispanic males carrying a large TV from the rear of the residence heading towards their vehicle. The witness yelled at them, causing them to drop the TV and get away in their vehicle. Officers also were investigating a residential burglary at 2709 Pollard, not far from Watkins Street, a short time later. The suspects stole numerous electronic items, jewelry and cash. The suspects are kicking in doors to gain entry into the residences, and police believe that these suspects are responsible for several residential burglaries over the past several weeks.

Police remind everyone to mark or record your electronic item serial numbers and photograph all items of value. They say you should report any suspicious activity that you observe in your neighborhood immediately to police and write down any license plate information of suspicious vehicles. If you have any information about the two suspects above, you’re asked to contact Tyler Police or call Crime Stoppers.
