Brownwood Police said Thursday that they have connected a recent report of a burglary of a home with a separate report of a runaway juvenile after an investigation.
On Monday, November 12th, BPD officers were called to the 2600 block of W. Main Blvd regarding the burglary of a habitation. According to police, the resident reported that a window had been broken to enter the home where an unknown amount of firearms were missing. During the investigation, two 12 gauge shotguns were located in a playhouse outside the residence, the report states.
According to Assistant Chief of Police James Fuller, that morning around 6:30am, BPD received a report of a runaway from a residence on 16th Street in Brownwood. This juvenile, along with another student from the Brownwood Alternative High School were reported to have been found eating a meal at the Stripes convenience store on W. Commerce in Brownwood, said Fuller.
Fuller stated that after an investigation was completed regarding the burglary at the residence on W. Main, the runaway juveniles were determined to be the suspects. The stolen property, which included a few hunting rifles/shot guns and some jewelry, were able to be recovered according to Fuller. Charges are in the process of being filed according to law enforcement.
