Burglary
suspect remains in custody A suspect remains in custody by Fort Worth police nine days after being arrested for breaking into a vehicle at TCU, said Detective W.A. Hix of the Fort Worth police. Hix said the suspect, who was taken into custody Feb. 25, is an illegal alien and has requested a lawyer before he talks to police. “He’ll probably end up getting deported for this one offense,” Hix said. The suspect in custody has not been connected to any of the other 22 reported vehicle burglaries that have occurred at TCU in the past month, he said. “It can be speculated that the suspect is responsible for other burglaries at TCU, we just haven’t been able to prove that yet,” Hix said. Vehicle burglaries did decrease from 14 during the week of Feb. 18 through Feb. 25 to one vehicle burglary in the past week since the arrest, according to TCU police reports. Hix said the TCU police did a good job with the arrest Feb. 25 and that the investigation has been made much easier because of their help. TCU police recorded the Feb. 25 vehicle burglary on security cameras while it was taking place in the Ranch Management lot, said J.C. Williams, Assistant TCU Police Chief. According to an incident report on file at the TCU Police Department, TCU police officers stopped the suspect as he was trying to leave the lot. After the police handcuffed the suspect, they searched his vehicle and found a compact disc player laying on the floor behind the driver’s seat, the report cited. The suspect was then taken into custody by the Fort Worth Police Department, Williams said. Anthony
