Tyler Police investigators have identified all five suspects who were involved in the burglary of a Tyler Atwood’s Ranch and Home store and have one suspect in custody, according to a department news release.
Investigators secured arrest warrants for the following suspects: Jaleen Norton, 17, of Hawkins; Gakerrion Miller, 18, of Tyler; Cody Jones, 19, of Hawkins; Richard Levi Hammonds, 17, of Hawkins; and Krispen Wooten, 18, of Hawkins.
All five have been charged with burglary of a building, which is a third-degree felony.
Only one suspect is in custody at this time – Gakerrion Miller, on a probation violation.
Police will be looking for the other suspects to take them into custody. They also may turn themselves in to authorities, according to the news release.
Police believe these same suspects were responsible for a burglary that occurred in Mineola, the same morning after the Atwood’s burglary.
Investigators recovered some of the stolen guns and continue to recover the other stolen property, according to the news release.
Eight rifles along with ammunition and other items were stolen from the store in the 3000 block of West Northwest Loop 323 in the early morning hours of Sept. 30.
