Two individuals are behind bars following an ATM theft in Texarkana, Texas, after investigators utilized technology and surveillance footage to track the suspects across state lines.
Investigation and Arrest
According to the Texarkana Texas Police Department, data gathered from Flock cameras and video surveillance helped detectives quickly identify the vehicles associated with the theft and map out the suspects’ travel path. Officers arrested Keanu White, 29, and Andreana White, 28, near Malvern, Ark., just hours after the theft took place. During the arrest, authorities recovered cash from the suspects’ vehicle that is believed to have been taken from the ATM.
The Texarkana Texas Police Department spokesman, Shawn Vaughn, emphasized that while technology provided critical leads, it works in tandem with standard law enforcement procedures. “It’s just another tool that the detectives, you know, we’re able to use,” Vaughn said. “It’s still required for them to be able to put all the pieces together and do, you know, the investigative work behind it.”
