LCSO seeks public’s help in identifying burglary suspect

A burglar hit the same business location on back-to-back nights of Nov. 25 and 26. Liberty County Sheriff’s lead Investigator Ann Marie Mitchell has requested the public’s help in identifying a security camera photo of the burglary suspect.

On the night of Nov. 25 one or more suspects cut the lock and chain off a gate on FM 770 and stole over $15,000 in company equipment off a service truck parked on the property. In this theft a black and yellow Champion generator with serial number 18OCT1000210 was stolen along with band saws and a large amount of assorted tools.

On the following nigh, Nov. 26, another security lock and chain were cut off the same gate and this time a burglary of a building on the property resulted in eight (8) rim-mounted tires being stolen. On this occasion a suspect was clearly photographed by a security camera.

Serial numbers of all stolen equipment have been entered into NCIC as stolen property for future identification.
