Bryan-College Station – A collaborative investigation involving local law enforcement agencies has resulted in the arrest of three men from Houston, linked to a series of daytime home burglaries in Bryan-College Station. The trio, identified as Carlos Cordova-Valencia, Jann Cuero-Garces, and Bryan Nunez-Arboleda, were apprehended on Wednesday, concluding a multi-agency effort led by the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office, Bryan Police Department, and College Station Police Department.
Authorities utilized various methods during their investigation, including surveillance footage, witness statements, and other pertinent evidence, to identify the suspects. The suspects allegedly employed a deceptive tactic where one individual would knock on the front door posing as a service provider while the other two would enter through the back of the house. In instances where no one answered the knock, they would force their way in through the rear entrance.
This strategy reportedly became evident in multiple burglary incidents within the Oakmont neighborhood of Bryan. To avoid detection, the suspects often wore high-visibility vests resembling those worn by construction workers, allowing them to blend in while scouting homes. A key lead in the investigation came from a tip-off regarding a vehicle suspected of involvement in prior burglaries. This enabled law enforcement to coordinate a response and observe the suspects in action.
On the day of their arrest, the suspects were tracked to the Raintree neighborhood in College Station, where police spotted them returning to their vehicle after leaving several backyards. During their apprehension, law enforcement discovered gloves, masks, and burglary tools on their persons, further implicating them in the crimes. One suspect reportedly confessed that they were preparing to commit another burglary when law enforcement deployed a drone, prompting the suspects to flee.
Investigators believe that this group is connected to a larger organized crime network originating from Houston, which has been targeting valuables such as jewelry, gold, and firearms. Carlos Cordova-Valencia has an additional complicating factor; he is also wanted in Harris County on an outstanding warrant for family violence assault.
In total, all three men were booked into the Brazos County Jail, facing serious charges including Burglary of Habitation and Possession of Criminal Instruments. Each suspect has been issued a bond set at $40,000, and they are currently on immigration holds as well. Authorities have communicated that the investigation is ongoing and that further charges may be forthcoming as additional information comes to light.
In light of these incidents, law enforcement officials have stressed the importance of community vigilance. Residents are advised to report any suspicious activities they witness and to make use of home security measures to deter potential burglars. The collaborative efforts between local police departments and the community remain crucial for maintaining safety and security in the Bryan-College Station area.
This series of daytime burglaries has sparked concern within the community, with residents urged to stay alert and proactive about protecting their homes. The swift action taken by law enforcement in apprehending the suspects showcases the effectiveness of cooperation between various police agencies.
The community’s response and engagement in reporting suspicious behavior could further aid in preventing future crimes and ensuring a safer environment for all residents.
