ARRESTS MADE IN LOCAL THEFTS/BURGLARIES

  

Four Brenham teens have been arrested in connection with a number of local burglaries and the theft of a vehicle.

Washington County Sheriff’s deputies and members of the Brenham Police Department’s Fusion Unit arrested the four Thursday on warrants issued after an investigation by Sheriff’s investigators.

The suspects were identified as 18-year old Gamarcus Sheppard, 18-year old Terry Rogers Jr., 17-year old Fred Santee Jr. and a local 16-year old male juvenile—all from Brenham.

Just over a week ago, residents reported to deputies that a suspicious vehicle had been parked in a wooded area and two suspects were seen running away from the scene.  This investigation led to the recovery of a stolen vehicle which had been reported stolen on Jason Lane.

Also located at this scene a burned out pickup  that had been reported stolen in Waller County.

Sheppard and Rogers were arrested Thursday at a residence on Elhart Lane.  Santee was arrested at a residence on Brown Tavern Lane near Old Washington.  The 16 year old male juvenile was located at his residence in Brenham was transferred to a juvenile detention facility. 

Bond has been set at $25,000 for Sheppard, Rogers and Santee. 

Sheppard has charges pending in Washington County after being arrested previously for Deadly Conduct and Possession of Marijuana.  Last week, Rogers was arrested in Burleson County after a traffic stop resulted in the discovery of Glock .45 caliber pistol. He was charged with Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon. 

The Washington County Sheriff's Office is continuing their investigation into any connection of this criminal activity to other similar crimes committed in the county.
