Sheriff’s detectives say the Tuesday arrest of two burglary suspects may have solved 10 Pecan Grove vehicle burglaries.
Andrew Philip Brasseur, 18, and Zachary Harrison Allen, 18, both of Pecan Grove, were arrested after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday by Fort Bend County Sheriff’s deputies who tracked them down shortly after a car burglary in the 1200 block of Colonial Heights Drive.
According to a sheriff’s report, a woman at a home in that block was awakened after hearing her car horn go off. She looked out her bedroom window, saw the inside light of her car was on, and also saw two men nearby, and a gray Dodge pickup truck parked in front of her house.
She wrote down the license plate number of the truck and called the sheriff’s office.
The two suspects drove off in the truck, but deputies stopped them in the 1100 block of Alexandria Court, the sheriff’s office said.
Brasseur was charged with public intoxication, and the sheriff’s office said he also will be charged with burglary of a motor vehicle. Harrison was charged with burglary of a motor vehicle.
“During the course of this investigation, detectives recovered a substantial amount of property stolen by” Brasseur and Allen, the sheriff’s office said in a statement, “resulting in the clearance of approximately nine other burgarly-of-motor-vehicle cases that occurred this same night” in Pecan Grove.
