The victim reported that on July 11, his residence in the 1800 block of Reed Road in Center Point was burglarized and several items were taken. He set up a game camera outside his residence in hopes of getting pictures of whoever was responsible.
On July 12, he returned to the property and noticed his lawn mower was missing. He reviewed the images on the game camera and found photos of a man and woman loading his lawn mower into the back of a truck. He called the sheriff’s office and filed a report and provided the photos to a detective.
