Suspected Vehicle Burglar Alexander Sibaja Captured During Traffic Stop in Harris CountySource: Facebook/Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4

A routine traffic stop by Harris County deputies on Aldine Westfield Road resulted in the capture of a man wanted for burglarizing a motor vehicle. The suspect, Alexander Sibaja, was pulled over on Thursday in an area just north of Houston, according to a statement from Constable Mark Herman's Office.

Constable Mark Herman's deputies conducted the stop in the 23700 block only to discover Sibaja had an active warrant for Burglary of a Motor Vehicle along with three additional Class C Misdemeanor Warrants. The identity check not only confirmed suspicions but also revealed a history of smaller infractions. In a release, Constable Herman said, "Alexander Sibaja was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail for the open warrants." Sibaja's bond was subsequently set at $1,000.00 out of County Court 3.

The specifics of the burglary for which Sibaja was wanted have not been detailed, though motor vehicle burglary is a charge that typically involves breaking into a car with the intent to commit theft. Such cases contribute to the broader statistic of property crimes in an area that officials, like Constable Mark Herman, actively seek to suppress through vigilant policing and thorough investigation.

Following Sibaja's arrest, he now faces the legal consequences of his alleged actions, a process that begins with his bond conditions and the requisite court appearances. Jail time, fines, or both are potential outcomes that hinge upon court proceedings and the specificities of Sibaja's case.
