Detectives with the CIU were assigned to investigate a theft case which occurred in the 100 block of World of Tennis. According to the victim, several personal items were stolen from her residence and were later posted for sale on Lakeway Swap. CIU personnel were able to identify and locate the parties involved with the post. One of the parties ultimately confessed to stealing the property. CIU personnel were able to recover the stolen property and charges (Class A misdemeanor) are expected coming soon.
Detectives with the CIU investigated a mail fraud case and were able to track leads down to a possible suspect in Canada. Due to the criminal activity originating in a foreign country, the Lakeway Police Department will no longer be able to investigate the case. Additionally, the victim was reimbursed the money that was lost during the incident. Therefore the case was closed.
Detectives with the CIU investigated a report of a bike theft in which a high-end, hand-made bicycle was stolen. Detectives were able to determine though communications with APD detectives that the bicycle was trafficked to Mexico. There are no other leads in the case, so the case will be closed.
Detectives with the CIU filed a warrant of arrest for Theft on a second suspect involved in previous thefts from Goodwill. The suspect remains at large.
