| | 10/15/2008 - House on South Indiana St. Burglarized | | At a residence in the 800 block of S. Indiana St., burglars removed burglar bars from a window, broke that window, and entered the house. Then they proceeded to steal a large number of items, including a china cabinet, washer & dryer, GE range, refrigerator, and air conditioning units. One other distinctive item taken was a large BBQ pit with "Texas Longhorns" on it and the name "Rios." It must have taken several men or hefty women to haul all these items away. Neighbors apparently saw nothing. "See no evil; hear no evil; speak no evil." The burglary occurred between October 7 and 15.

| | 9/19/2008 - BURGLARY ON EAST MANZANILLO ST | | On Friday, Sept. 19, just before noon, a sleeping homeowner, who was not quite ready to wake up, heard a knock at his door. Half asleep, he didn`t go to the door. Instead, he heard a loud bang. Then he DID get up, went into HIS living room, only to see a fat, dark complected man who had no business being there. The intruder ran; the homeowner called the police. The residence, located on Manzanillo Street, in Las Brisas subdivision, was entered, but nothing was taken. It was still a burglary. Police are looking for that fat burglar, his skinny accomplice, both of whom left in a 1999 gold Buick 4-door, which may be from the Pharr area.
