Early Morning Burglary at TooTer’s Vape Shop in College Station
College Station woke up to a bit of a surprise this Sunday morning when two men were arrested for trying to break into the locally beloved TooTer’s Vape Shop. It all went down just before 6 a.m. when the CSPD (College Station Police Department) received an alert about a burglary taking place on Harvey Road.
The Scene of the Crime
As CSPD officers arrived on the scene, they didn’t waste any time. They spotted two suspects attempting to sneak into TooTer’s Vape Shop. What a way to start the day! Armed with a rock, the suspects had smashed the front door, hoping to gain access to the shop before anyone noticed. But as luck would have it, their plan hit a snag when they were spotted by the attentive officers.
Fleeing the Scene
The suspects knew their window of opportunity was closing fast. They seized the moment and bolted from the shop, making a hasty escape towards Highway 6. Talk about a mad dash! Fortunately for the community, the quick-thinking officers were not going to let them get away that easily. They called for backup from a K9 unit and even utilized a drone team to track down the fleeing suspects.
On the Hunt
Thanks to some detailed descriptions provided to the officers, the K9 unit had a good starting point. They believed the suspects might have headed to The Grand Apartments nearby. It seems that the dogs and drones had their work cut out for them, but College Station’s finest weren’t about to give in. After a thorough search, the hard work paid off and both suspects were apprehended.
Meet the Suspects
The suspects were later identified as Jomante Bailey, 26, and Jamarius Anderson, 38, both hailing from the charming city of College Station. It’s always a shock to see familiar faces involved in such activities, isn’t it? Jomante Bailey was charged with Burglary of a Building. Backed by the local law enforcement, his bond has been set at a pretty hefty $20,000.
A Twist in the Tale
But that’s not all. Jamarius Anderson faced his own trouble, as he was charged with False Report to a Police Officer. It seems that during the chaotic moments of the early morning, he may have tried to mislead the authorities. His bond is set at a much lower amount of $2,000, but it’s clear that both men will be facing the consequences of their actions.
A Community Alert
This incident serves as a reminder that crime can happen anywhere, even in the friendliest of neighborhoods. Residents of College Station are encouraged to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the police. The CSPD is always on your side, ensuring safety and security in the community.
Looking Ahead
As investigations continue, local businesses and residents alike will be keeping an eye on their surroundings. With the diligent work of the CSPD, the community can breathe a little easier, knowing that those who attempt to disrupt the peace won’t go unnoticed. Stay safe, College Station, and remember, teamwork makes the dream work!
