Euless Police have apprehended a suspect involved in a vehicle theft from a local apartment complex. The arrest, made on May 4, follows a series of events that began when multiple suspects stole a black 2011 Hyundai four-door on February 27 between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM. The crime occurred near the 300 block of Vine Street, the Euless Police reported in their original press release.

The investigation continued as the stolen car was spotted at an Irving convenience store on the 3300 block of W. Walnut Hill Lane, where the suspects proceeded to make purchases with the victim's credit card. It didn't take long for the police to recover the stolen vehicle on March 2, in the 1200 block of Dockaster Street, according to an update from the Euless Police Department. In efforts to completely solve the case, detectives have sought further assistance from the public, encouraging anyone with information to step forward.

The breakthrough came when police arrested one suspect, whose information has not yet been released, and the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office accepted the charges. This development marks a significant step in holding the accountable parties responsible for their involvement in the crime.

The Euless Police have continued to appeal to the community for additional information that may lead to further arrests. The department's Detective C. Smith urges anyone who can recognize the suspects or has any further insights to get in contact. Euless Police Department's Detective C. Smith can be reached at (817) 685-1538 or via email at [email protected], as detailed on their social media post.
