In the early morning hours of Monday, Dec. 6, several vehicles in the Settler’s Estates subdivision were burglarized. As a result, many unsecured firearms were taken from these vehicles. Additionally, in a nearby subdivision located in the City of Sealy, at least three more vehicle burglaries were reported.

Residents reported seeing a late model, black in color, Cadillac sedan with loud mufflers in the area. Also, surveillance video from Settler’s Crossing captured the Cadillac that appeared to have a damaged driver’s side rear taillight.

From the video, there appear to be three to four subjects involved in the burglaries. One subject captured on video appears to be a black male with short cropped hair or braids, wearing a light-colored sweatshirt and baggy shorts.
