Police Recover Stolen Truck, Other Property

LONGVIEW — Police in Longview have arrested three suspects and recovered a truck stolen from miles away, as well as some stolen property. On July 12 at around 5:55 p.m., Longview Officers were dispatched to 113 Thelma Court for a report of a theft that had just occurred. When officers arrived, the victim and several witnesses reported that three men in a blue Chevrolet truck had stolen several items from underneath the carport at the victim’s duplex. Witnesses reported the license plate number to officers, who found that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Wills Point.

Officers searching the area located the stolen Chevrolet truck parked in front of a residence at 121 Queens Court. There was no one in the truck, so the officers contacted the people inside the residence. Officers located two of the three suspects and were told the third suspect was still inside. Police say the third suspect, 19-year-old Jordon Riqui Turner of Longview, was located hiding in the garage. Stolen property from 113 Thelma Street was recovered in the bed of the stolen truck, and witnesses identified the three suspects as the men who had allegedly stolen the items.

All three suspects were arrested, and it was learned that Turner had an outstanding warrant from Terrell for aggravated robbery and an outstanding warrant for theft from Gregg County. Turner is charged with theft (Class B misdemeanor), unauthorized use of a motor vehicle (State Jail Felony), and two outstanding warrants. The other two suspects were identified as juveniles and were booked into the Gregg County Juvenile Detention Center for Theft (Class B misdemeanor). The stolen property was released to the victim.
