The Texarkana, Texas Police Department arrested Colby Mitchell, 22, of Texarkana Texas, for Vehicle Burglary overnight.
According to Texarkana, Texas Police Public Information Officer Shawn Vaughn, officers responded to a report of a vehicle burglary in progress on Holly Lane at 1:49 a.m. Monday after a witness observed a man prowling around his neighbors’ vehicles in the area.
