Bowie Police ID teen suspects in auto burglaries
A pair of Bowie teenagers have been identified as suspects in a spree of vehicle burglaries between Sept. 24 and 25.
Sgt. Josh Wolfe of the Bowie Police Department said the string of vehicle burglaries occurred throughout town and not in one specific neighborhood.
“Approximately 10 vehicles were opened and rummaged through with items taken; however, we have only two that filed reports. We have recovered items from at least five different vehicles,” Wolfe explained.
The teens appear to have targeted unlocked vehicles. Cpl Andrew Poole, high school resource officer, assisted with the investigation helping identify the two boys, ages 17 and 18.
Wolfe said in addition, a citizen brought in security video from his property that showed the possible burglars.
Police have so far recovered three handguns, one laptop, one iPad and two sets of AirPods, along with at least one purse. Wolfe said he feels fairly confident they have recovered all the items taken in this weekend spree of burglaries.
“We have talked to the suspects and they have been cooperating. I would anticipate they will face possible charges of burglary of a vehicle, a Class A misdemeanor and theft of a firearm, a state jail felony,” explained the sergeant.
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on June 16.
The big item on the agenda is the review of superintendent candidate applications and consider possible interview choice. Superintendent Blake Enlow resigned on May 23 and Assistant Superintendent Lee Ann Farris has been serving as the interim.
That item will be in executive session along with professional educator contracts that need to be considered.
On the regular agenda Farris will update the board on education bills passed by the 89th Texas Legislature and their budget impacts, as well as discipline impacts. A budget workshop will be considered. She also will provide information on state assessment and board goals.
Campus administrators and directors will provide updates, along with the finance director.
In action items the board will review Texas Association of School Board update 124, consider changes to the 12-month and 11 employee dates and consider the purchase of a new band trailer not to exceed $80,000.
Due to the June 19 Juneteenth federal holiday the U.S. Post Office will be closed, which moves then Thursday Bowie News to a delivery date on Friday. It will be available in the stores at its regular time.
