This morning at 10:26 am. Deputies responded to Northwest Forest, just off of Tram Road in reference to a Burglary that had just occurred.
A roofing contractor and his crew were working on a house when they saw a suspicious white male in the yard. The contractor advised that the white male said he was looking for a job. After speaking to the suspicious male, the contractor watched as he walked next door. The suspect, along with a white female, began stealing items from the storage building. The contractor confronted them and made them leave. The contractor then called 911.
The contractor gave an excellent description of the suspects and the truck that they were in. When Deputies arrived, they located the truck that was now hooked up to a lowboy trailer. It was backed up to another residence.
While Deputies were speaking to the suspects, they were notified by another neighbor that their lowboy trailer had just been stolen from their yard. It was the same trailer that was hooked up to the suspect’s truck.
Both suspects had warrants and were immediately placed under arrest. Deputies found Meth in a pocket on the male. The lowboy trailer was returned to the owner. The suspect truck, belonging to the female, was towed and impounded.
35 year old Kristopher Street of Lumberton was arrested and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, Theft and Burglary. He also had an outstanding traffic warrant from Nederland.
35 year old Elizabeth Sharp of Lumberton was arrested and charged with and Burglary. She also had a Theft by Check Warrant out of Lumberton.
There have been several occasions since Hurricane Harvey where contractors have alerted Law Enforcement to suspicious activities. As always, keep vigilant. #OneCountyOneCommunity
