A Lufkin kennel owner was the victim of a theft in which several valuable dogs were stolen in October and Crime Stoppers needs your help to find the person responsible and get the dogs back to their owner.

   The owner reported that four Pomeranian dogs were stolen sometime during the night of Saturday October 18 from a kennel located just west of Lufkin.  Each of the dogs is valued at over $500, making this a felony theft.

   Of the four Pomeranians that were stolen, three were female and one was a male.  The male was black in color and one of the females was a rare black and tan coloration and very small, making her especially valuable.  The other two female puppies were the classic red coloration Pomeranians.

   The kennel owner reported that a woman and her daughter from Cushing had looked at the dogs the week before the theft and commented on how she would like to begin raising Pomeranians.  It’s not known if these people have any connection to the theft.

   These dogs are not only a valuable commodity; they are pets to the owner.  If you have any information on this theft, or know where these dogs can be found, call Crime Stoppers at 639-TIPS or leave an anonymous at right here at www.lufkincrimestoppers.com.  You never have to give your name and you could earn a cash reward of up to $1000 if the information you provide leads to an arrest in this case.

The woman seen in the accompanying photograph is wanted for questioning by Lufkin Police in regards to identity theft and credit card abuse.

On September 19 the woman used a man’s name and social security number to fraudulently get the clerk to access the man’s store credit card account and purchased a 50" television and a TV stand with that information.

The woman can be seen on video taking a piece of paper from her pocket and reading off the victim’s social security number to the clerk.

The day before this incident a male suspect had come in and requested a second credit card on the victim’s account but that request was denied. The victim does not know the woman and has no idea how someone got his identifying information.

If you recognize this woman call Crime Stoppers at 639-TIPS, or leave an anonymous tip at lufkincrimestoppers.com. You never have to give your name and if your information leads to an arrest in this case you could earn a cash reward of up to $1000.

   Sometime during the night of September 08, an unknown person broke into St. Patrick’s Catholic School in the 2100 block of Lowry Street in Lufkin and stole some items from the school.

   Sometime during that Monday night a suspect broke out a classroom window and entered one of the school buildings.  Once inside the suspect stole a teacher’s laptop computer from one classroom and a small CD player from an adjacent classroom.

   The suspect left the speakers for that CD player behind.  Evidence at the scene indicated the suspect wore gloves with a dimple textured palm.  The crime was discovered the next morning when the teacher came to work. 

   The school received a phone call some time later inquiring if they had a computer taken during a break-in.  The caller never called back to follow up on what seems to be some knowledge of the crime.  Crime Stoppers can offer that person or anyone else with information on this crime, a guarantee that they can call us and remain anonymous.

   Just after 8pm on Monday October 06 three young men robbed M&B Grocery at gunpoint.  M&B Grocery is located at the corner of Raguet and Abney in north Lufkin.  The three young men approached the store wearing hooded sweatshirts with the hoods pulled low over their faces.  At least two of the men were armed and one of them approached the clerk with his gun up and put the handgun to the clerk’s forehead and demanded the money.  The clerk complied and the three suspects all fled on foot towards Douglas Street.

   The suspects are all young black males in their teens or early twenties.  One wore a black hoodie, one a white hoodie and one wore a unique half black/half white hoodie.  Video footage of the actual robbery can be seen by clicking on the movie camera on this page.  The robbery occurs just over halfway through the video.  (If you`re unable to download this rather large file, try Crime Stoppers at www.ktre.com for a shorter version.)

The young man with the unique black and white hoodie goes straight to the clerk with the gun extended and puts the pistol to the clerk’s forehead and demands the money.  The third suspect in the black hoodie waits outside with a long gun of some type.

   An Angelina County man was robbed at gunpoint and Crime Stoppers needs your help to find the two people responsible.

   A Huntington area senior citizen placed an ad for domestic help, looking for someone to help him with the household chores and his personal care.  A woman called in response to that ad and made an appointment for Thursday evening, October 16.  The woman arrived just after 7pm and had a male with her.  After talking for some time, the woman asked the victim for gas money home.  The victim gave her $20 and the male suspect pulled a pistol from his waistband and demanded the victim’s money and his guns.  The victim complied and the suspect got a .22 rifle and all his cash before leaving in a white smaller SUV. 

   The suspects are described as a white female and a white male.  The female suspect was around 23 years old, 5’8” tall with dark brown shoulder length hair.  She mentioned during the interview that she and her sister owned a car together and that she baked cakes and sold them around Lufkin.  The woman said the man with her was her brother.
