Police Investigating Construction Material Thefts
By Mary Jane Farmer for the Van Alstyne News, Scene In Town
Van Alstyne Police made no arrests made this past week, but are investigating another theft of construction material, reported Police Lt. Steven Hayslip.
It was about 2 p.m. Friday (April 5, 2024) when officers were dispatched to 1556 Whispering Meadow in regard to the theft. They found that building materials, including 18 windows were stolen from a house under construction. At this time, Hayslip said, there are no suspects.
It was on March 27 that police investigated a similar theft in the 2000 block of Cuellar Way. There, too, construction materials were taken, including lumber and sheeting, also from a house under construction.
When asked if the police department has determined if the two similar thefts might be connected, Hayslip said, “At this time, there is a considerable amount of theft in construction materials all over the state. Therefore, it is really hard to determine.
“We document everything we can to help link potential crimes as well as step up patrol in all construction areas,” Hayslip added.
If anyone has information, that person is urged to call Van Alstyne Police at 903-482-5253.
