COLDSPRING — The San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division, working in cooperation with the Texas Rangers, has made an arrest following an extensive investigation into burglaries involving two Dollar General stores.
On June 27, three suspects allegedly burglarized Dollar General stores located in Coldspring and New Waverly. Patrol deputies initially responded and documented the incidents, with the investigation subsequently being assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division for further investigation.
Through investigative efforts, detectives developed information identifying suspects believed to be operating out of the Houston area. Due to the nature of the investigation and the suspects' connections outside San Jacinto County, Texas Rangers assigned to the region joined CID detectives in coordinating investigative efforts.
Following months of investigative work, detectives identified Trevon Jones, 33, of Houston, as one of the individuals allegedly involved in the burglaries.
On Thursday, detectives with the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by the Texas Rangers, successfully located and arrested Jones. He is charged with two counts of burglary of a building and engaging in organized criminal activity.
Sheriff Sam Houston commended the investigative efforts and cooperation between the agencies.
Two additional suspects remain outstanding, and investigators are continuing their efforts to identify, locate, and apprehend those involved.
The San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone with information regarding these burglaries or the identities of the remaining suspects to contact the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at 936-653-4367 ext. 8.
