A short time after that officers were called to the 3300 block of Marquette Street after a black 2019 Cadillac Escalade was stolen. The SUV was unlocked and the keys left inside. The vehicle had a tracking system and was later recovered in Dallas.
Just a few blocks away on Marquette, police reported another unlocked vehicle was burglarized and two purses stolen. Near that home, a third unlocked vehicle was burglarized, and the suspects took jewelry.
